Clever Christmas Decorations: Faux Gingerbread House Village

Decorating for the holidays is an exciting endeavor, and using Puff Paint to transform wood house silhouettes into a gingerbread-inspired village can add a charming touch to your Christmas decorations.

Supplies:

• Tulip Puff Paint Shiny White

• Unfinished wood house silhouettes

• Sandpaper (optional)

• Light damp cloth

• Surface cover

• Pencil (optional)

• Mini string lights (optional)

Step 1: Prepare Wood Houses & Work Area

Hand holding a bottle of white Tulip Puff Paint over unpainted wood house silhouettes that lie on a tablecloth and next to a green wreath with a red ribbon.

If your wooden house silhouettes have rough edges, use sandpaper to smooth them out. Wipe down your wooden house silhouettes with a light damp cloth and let dry completely. Lay out houses on prepared work surface and gather Puff Paint.

Step 2: Add Paint Designs

If desired, use a pencil to lightly draw your designs onto wooden house silhouettes. This will provide a guide for you to follow when applying Puff Paint. Begin adding Puff Paint designs to simulate snow and other décor on your wood gingerbread houses.

Step 3: Let Paint Dry, Add Extras & Display!

Once you are done decorating your wood gingerbread house silhouettes, lay them flat and allow the paint to dry completely. If desired, add string lights around houses to make your village glow! Next, display your houses for a merry Christmas!
