I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet but I was in a crafting mood and what better craft than a Christmas craft?
A quick trip Michael's, coupons in hand of course, and I had my supplies.
I started by painting the wooden oval block all white, except for the edges.
I then painted the bird house a robin egg blue, with some white craft paint to give it an icy cold look. Finally, I painted the roof and edges bright white with just a touch of gold on the tip of steeple.
Once it was all dry I I hot glued the bird house, the tree and the figure all to the board and then slathered the roofs and edges and the wooden block with Mod Podge and sprinkled the frosted snow all over.
The puppy and the squirrel make me think of Max.
This was such an easy project I can see making more and creating my own DIY Christmas village!
How about you? Have you started on your Christmas projects yet?

Hi Kathe, yes I am crocheting mini crochet wreaths. I bought assorted felt today to make ornaments with that too. I love handmade decorations and ornaments. I can't wait to see what else you create! Julie

How lovely,no I haven't even thought of Christmas this year yet. I have been so busy I haven't had time,but maybe now you have me thinking that the time is slipping away.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet! I would never have thought to make my own village. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI have not started any new projects yet. Looking at this cool little birdhouse makes me miss the snow.
ReplyDeleteKathe this is so darn cute! I love the snowy look! What a fun craft!!
ReplyDeleteKathe, I actually forced myself to get started this weekend as I want to do so many things... I made a new table runner and a Christmas tree skirt... I feel like I have at least two big items out of the way, lol... Love your little snow village - so cute... Cathy
ReplyDeleteI love your project! It really gets me in the mood for winter - and Christmas! Thanks for sharing your "early" inspiration. (It's really not early, just feels that way.)

ReplyDeleteThis is so cute, Kathe! I haven't started decorating for Christmas yet--it's just too early for me. I love to enjoy Thanksgiving and then after that I go all in for Christmas! Thanks for sharing this at Frugal Crafty Home Blog Hop! I hope to see you back on Sunday night.
ReplyDeletethis is cute and looks like fun. I'm still trying to find thanksgiving decorations before I do any x-mas thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteNice, Kathe! Hope you have a great weekend. Linda
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I am going to try to start some Christmas projects this weekend (after I get a couple of fall tablescapes ready for posting next week). Your birdhouse reminds me of the little Putz glitter houses. I bought some glitter and I already have every thing else to make myself a half a dozen of cute little glitter houses ready and waiting for me to have the time and inspiration. I do still need to run up to Walmart to buy some white bottle brush trees for the finishing touches. Thank you for sharing this post and helping me to get inspired!
