DIY Glitter Deer Head Mod Podge Makeover


DIY Glitter Deer Head Mod Podge Makeover

A glitter deer head of some kind had been on my DIY Christmas decoration list for years, so naturally this little ornament landed in my cart as soon as I saw it.
It was the last one, and looked a bit shabby already, with glitter coming off around the nose, but who cares for 79 Cent. Nothing a bit of extra glitter and Mod Podge can't fix, right?

DIY Mini Paper Houses Part 2 - The Christmas Village





Welcome to Part 2 of putz house making. Whew, what an adventure!

Yesterday, i played contractor and built the houses ( click here for Part 1), and today i want to show you how to make some cute details to decorate the houses. My inital plan was to decorate both villages, Christmas and Halloween, and for each house i have a story in mind of who lives there and whatnot.
But man! Making the christmas details took forever, and I'm extremely exhausted. So for now, i'll just leave the Halloween houses the way they are.

However, decorating is fun! Making mini doors, and window frames and shutters and wreaths and bows is fun! Adding snow and glitter is fun, of course!

DIY Mini Paper Houses Part 1



This is a project i've been wanting to make for a while now, for like two or three years, but somehow i never did and moved on to ( tons of) other ideas ideas instead.
But with Halloween and Christmas right around the corner, this is the perfect opportunity to kill two birds with one stone: create something that can be used for both hoildays, and get rid of paper scraps.



To be honest, there was a good reason i skipped this project for such a long time. Was it some mighty power from above? Destiny? Instinctive knowledge that i am in no way able to think dimensionally?
Ain't it funny how i am able to make flowers and all kinds of paper crafts literally within minutes, but then i struggle hard with those little houses? This is supposed to be a kids craft, isn't it? I don't think so...

Nonetheless, let me show you how i spent two ( 2!) full days making my paper putz houses.
Part 1 is dedicated to my battle with the buildings, and Part 2 is dedicated to the actual fun: decorating.
