- Turn store, adhesive side up, on work surface.
- Peel back protective paper along bottom edge of store board to expose approximately 1" of adhesive.
- Place brick bias tape over adhesive, aligning the folded edge of tape with the bottom edge of the store board. Allow the tape to extend beyond sides of store board approximately 1/4". This is the first row of "brick".
- For next row of brick, lay a second row of bias tape onto adhesive, even with and butting up to the first row.
- Continue to peel back protective paper from adhesive and apply bias tape to store board until you have covered entire building (including windows) to the first roof (see illustration 1).

- Lay one row of shingles along bottom edge of roof. The cut edge of shingles should overlap the brick bias tape (see illustration 1).
- Continue to lay rows of shingles to the top of first roof, slightly overlapping each row, until entire roof is covered (see illustration 1).
- Repeat steps 6 thru 12 to cover second story of store board (see illustration 1).
 - Turn store over, wrong side up, and trim all excess bias tape from store edges, window openings and roof lines with craft knife or scissors (see illustration 2). Turn toy store over to right side.

- Fold bias tape strip in half the long way and finger press.
- Glue folded bias tape to edge of store (half on front and around to the back) to cover raw ends of bias tape and board.
