My idea was to recreate a snowy Victorian or Edwardian style house. The bottom four I used Liquid Embroidery puffed up with my heat gun for the snow. Ran out! And couldn't find it locally. The top four I have used "Polar" Flower Soft for the snow which looks nicer IRL than in the pic. I have glittered each one with "Warm Highlights" microfine glitter from GlitterRitz. Inside I have adhered an angel image from Digital Collage Sheets outlined with Stickles. I will put a small chandelier bead and some other goodies inside each one. Thanks Joanne for yet again a great fun swap!
I love them, they are soo sweet, I wanted to make a couple for my grnddaughters, last year I did one with the Nativity inside. How did you create or attach the peaked roof, could you share? Thanks so much for a great post!

Thanks Marilou! I created a pattern by wrapping plain paper around the matchbox, drew the roof on the front and back. Played around a bit to make it come out close at least. I used my ScorePal to score the folds which kept it tidy. On some I traced a different paper to adhere to the roof. I used double sided tape to stick the front and back peaks together. Sandi
DeleteOh those are so cute Sandi! They remind me of typical Dutch houses in Amsterdam. What a great idea. Hugs, Buttons x
