Helpful Hints

1. Measure, trace with black marker and cut out all the mission house pieces as indicated on the templates provided; or from your templates.  Cut out the doors and window openings. 
2. Glue the walls together first, then glue on the gable ends and then the roof pieces.  Glue the side building to the main building as shown.
3. Paint the mission to resemble the actual building. Let dry.  Texture the terra cotta paint on the roof to look like clay tiles.
4. Paint the bells brown and let dry.  Thread the bells onto toothpicks and glue the toothpicks to the mission towers to hold the bells in place.
