easy to make halloween village

Well, here's a spooky Halloween village that I created and I am going to show you how to make it too! The best part about this little project is that it will cost you next to nothing to make, I am betting you already have many of these items around your house!


Suggested supply list:

• Old Music papers and assorted scrapbook papers
• Claudine Hellmuth Studio Paint in Charcoal Black
  
• Claudine Hellmuth Studio Multi Medium (matte or gloss)
• Claudine Hellmuth Studio Paint brushes
• Claudine Hellmuth Studio Sticky Back Canvas
• Ranger Inkssentials White Pen
• Pencil
• a BATTERY operated tea light candle (no flames please!!!)
• Template for the houses - I made one for you! Download here!

STEP ONE: Put the house template (download here) on top of a sheet of old music paper and trace around it with a pencil and then cut it out. Don't forget you can adjust the template to make tall and skinny houses or any type of house you would like!


STEP TWO: Draw in where you would like the windows and doors to go.


STEP THREE: Paint in the house. Paint around all the doors and windows leaving them unpainted. Here I am using Charcoal Black from the Claudine Hellmuth Studio Line.


STEP FOUR: Here I added details. I used Claudine Hellmuth Studio Sticky Back Canvas painted with Landscape Green to make the curtains, and the Ranger Inkssentials White Pen.


STEP FIVE: Fold all your edges and then glue the tab to the other side of the house with Claudine Hellmuth Studio Multi Medium.



STEP SIX: Pinch the sides to shape the house.


STEP SEVEN: Place the roof template on a piece of scrapbook paper, trace around and cut out


STEP EIGHT: Fold the roof piece down the center and then add details or trim if you like!


STEP NINE: Put the roof on your house and then place a BATTERY OPERATED tea light candle underneath. DO NOT use a regular tea light candle with flame because it will catch your mini house on fire! You can find Battery tea light candles at home stores like Bed Bath and Beyond, Dollar Store or at your local craft store.


YOU'RE DONE! Here's the little house along with a few others ready to bring spookiness to your home. It was difficult to capture just how glowing the houses are with the battery tea lights underneath. When you make yours, you will see how fun they are!
