Materials Needed:
1. Cardboard or craft foam or wood (for the house structure)
2. Hot glue gun and glue sticks
3. White acrylic paint or fake snow spray
4. Scissors or craft knife
5. Small twigs (for trees)
6. Cotton balls (for snow)
7. Bottlebrush trees (optional)
8. LED tealight (for lighting inside the house)
9. Decorative items (tiny wreaths, string lights, etc.)
10. Craft paper or felt (to decorate the house)
11. A sturdy base (like a wooden board or foam base)
Step 1: Build the House
1. Cut out the house walls and roof from cardboard or craft foam or wood. Make it simple—a square base with a triangular roof works great.
2. Assemble the house by gluing the walls together and attaching the roof on top. Leave a window or door open for detail or to add lighting later.
Step 2: Paint and Decorate
1. Paint the house in festive colors like red, green, or brown.
2. Once the paint is dry, brush white acrylic paint along the roof edges and windows to mimic snow.
3. Add a tiny wreath or garlands around the door.
Step 3: Add Trees and Snow
1. Stick bottlebrush trees or small twigs into the base to mimic a forest.
2. Spread cotton balls or sprinkle fake snow over the mountain and house.
Step 4 Add Final Touches
1. Place the LED tealight inside the house to make it glow.
2. Add small figurines, fences, or tiny animals around the mountain for extra charm.
3. Sprinkle glitter for a magical snowy effect.
Place your miniature house on your Christmas table or mantle, and enjoy the cozy holiday vibes!
