Once finished, cut your tail quite long so you can sew it onto the plastic mesh. You can hide your ends between the mesh and the crochet piece.
Cut two pieces of plastic mesh measuring 20cmx14cm
Sew roof pieces to the mesh.
(Note: you can also glue the piece to the mesh, but I suggest sewing, since it is more secure.)
Use the mattress stitch to seam the tops of the roof pieces together to form a hinge.
