Trace the plans onto foam core.

Cut out the pieces for each house with an x-acto knife and metal ruler. Replace the blade often to keep it sharp.

PRO TIP: Anywhere it says “fold” score the foam core halfway instead of cutting through and fold.

Cut doors for each house if wanted.

Glue the floor and walls together of each house using hot glue. Wait to put the roof on until later.

Paint the body of each house the desired color. PRO TIP: Painting the doors an accent color is very modern and a fun way to add more color!

If you’d like, cut a piece of scrapbook paper for the back wall of each house and adhere it with spray glue.

Spray each roof with spray adhesive and sprinkle a generous amount of glitter on.

Add decorative accouterments like miniature wreaths on the doors and bottle brush Christmas trees inside.

You can either glue the roof on or leave it unattached to switch out decorative items or tealights for a warm glow.

Arrange, sprinkle with faux show and enjoy!
