Hey again - I wanted to share a tutorial I posted over at Pixels and Company's blog over the weekend. So if you missed it, here it is!
This is a a VERY EASY and SUPER FUN project for you! And I bet it's something your kids (or anyone) would have fun making. Start to finish is under 90 minutes and they supplies are pretty cheap!
What you’ll need…
- Digital kit – I used Mye De Leon's kit, Peppermint Winter
- Scissors, craft knife, and/or a paper trimmer
- Ruler
- Adhesive, I used a glue pen and craft glue
- Epsom salt
- A big glass jar
- Bottle brush or other decorative mini trees
- Mini House template (found mine here @ Nicole Heady's blog)
Instructions:
1) Open a document (8.5″x11″) impost your template and size it to you liking. Erase all the white, just leaving the black outline. My houses are about 2 inches tall, one is 2 1/2". Add your patterned papers on a layer under the template. I inverted my outlines to white, so they are barely visible over the pattern and won't show when I finish. Cut out your houses, score lightly on the fold lines with an craft knife... use a soft touch and don't pierce the paper.
2) Fold the houses.
3) Measure the roof and cut out those panels. Glue them down.
4) Add a line of thick craft glue along the edge of the roof and add Epsom salt for a little "snow".
5) Add your tree to the jar and enough Epsom salt to the bottom of the jar to hold the tree in place and then add your houses. You're all done!
Have an wonderful day,
