These sweet mini houses just cried out
to be decorated with some pretty papers and butterflies. They were
made from the GSL Cabana Row Minis. Let me walk you through how they
were made.
The papers I used were from both the
Graphic 45 Botanical Tea line and the Paper Studio Pretty Petals
line. Before assembly, I used the flat cabana as a template for
cutting my papers. That made decorating them super easy.
The houses easily fold together with
the pre-scored lines. I assembled them using tacky glue and held
them together with craft clips while the glue was drying.
Each cabana received a piece of ribbon
or trim around the roofline to conceal where the two different papers
meet.
The roof sections were painted on one
side and papered on the other. Those were then glued into place
using rubber bands to hold them while the glue dried. Each cabana
received an additional scrap of trim around their base.
On the front of each cabana I added a
small butterfly from the GSL Butterflies and Dragonflies set. Those
were painted in a cream colored acrylic paint.
Decorating was fun! I got out my
supply of pearls, resin flowers, embellishments and even more trim
and played around with the lot until I was happy with the result.
The only thing left was to glue a bit
of Sweet Pea Flower Soft sprinkles along their rooflines. What an
adorable little neighborhood they make. Thanks for stopping by!
