Diy Christmas Village Houses

I created a diy holiday village for our mantel and for you.

Diy christmas village houses. Budding christmas village artists may well find that cardboard model houses provide the solution rather than using porcelain versions. Cut two pieces of 1 4 plywood to cover the roof. 56 one i thought i d put on my crafty cap and make one of my own. You can make your roof as large or small as you wish but i cut mine about 1 2 longer than the width of my house so 7 and about 4 1 2 wide.

So off to my local hardware store i went. As you can see i didn t even have to do much work to them. Simply glue these two pieces on butting them at the top. I found the color in my mind in spray paint.

Christmas village accessories small wreaths trees etc thin ribbon optional we swapped out the red ribbons on the wreaths for pink hot glue gun. I found these great birdhouses at michaels which made my handmade christmas village come together in a flash. Simply print it off cut it out and voila instant christmas town for you to display with your festive decor. For once it was easy and didn t take a bunch of time.

Add the roof and chimney to the christmas village houses. We planned ours out so we had a variety of colors and so they all coordinated. We can make our own miniature buildings from scratch with cardboard scissors and paint or alternatively find some printable houses online just waiting to be printed cut out and glued together. A few weeks ago i saw this gorgeous ceramic village set from anthropologie.

First step is to paint your bird houses whatever colors your heart so desires. Using spray paint to update your old christmas village.
