I really tried to make this a short video but I just couldn't make it the length I wanted to and still get all the details in for you guys. I hope you enjoy the project. It does turn out so cute and it really is easy to do. You can vary the colors of paint used to make it go into your dollhouse and you can make the houses any height you want to give you the look you want. This tutorial is really just a starting point on this one.
So
we are starting out with a green chenille stem, a jumbo craft-stick
(¾” wide), a regular craft-stick, a slim stick (or a skinny stick)
and a little more than 4” of ⅛” x ⅛” strip-wood.
Make
a mark a on the sticks on each stick a bit from the end then use this
to like up your cuts. Cut the ends at 45°
angles to form a roof peak.
Paint the about 1” of ends of the sticks and allow to dry.
These
are the colors I used for mine.
I also used a white paint pen to paint all the roofs.
Measure
the height of each house and mark.
Cut
to size. Also cut the strip-wood into 2 pieces that are 2” long.
Add
windows and doors if desired.
Coat
with mat Mod Podge.
Lightly
brush the roofs and trees with some more Mod Podge and sprinkle with
white glitter.
Allow to dry and you have a cute little Christmas village for the dollhouse.
