On November 13 2017 we built a cardboard rocket ship playhouse for our kids area. We used our Laser Cutter and lots of cardboard and masking tape. Here's how it went.

After cutting all pieces out, tape the bottom guide strips to the floor, and the side pieces up the wall as a guide.

Then tape everything else together. We built ours from the bottom up, one level at a time, with masking tape. It might be easier to tape together whole strips at a time. Let us know!
