Atmospheric street of cardboard

These houses look like biscuit houses with sugar confectionery, but they are little houses made of cardboard. We still order online, so enough cardboard boxes in circulation to create this lovely scene. And... even after Christmas they make a warm scene during the cold or bleak winter months...

How to do?
Collect shapes of houses, trace the contours of these to the desired format, possibly first on paper, but you can also draw directly on the cardboard.
Then draw windows, doors and shutters and cut openings in windows and doors.
You can make checkered windows by sticking strips of cardboard or matchsticks to the back.
Process the cardboard on the front with a thin layer of Viva Decor's Stein Paste.
Let this dry (can be blow-dried) and now process all the contours of windows and doors with 3D Schnee or Effect Snow, all packagings have a handy thin nozzle to apply the lines properly in this case.
Connect all cardboard parts together using duct tape, so that the whole remains bendable.
Also stick the light cord with duct tape, take into account the windows and doors, so that the light falls mainly there.
Finish everything with details such as curtains, shutters, door wreath or whatever you want to add as extra decoration. And if you want to create real cookie houses, decorate with hearts etc.

Nice to give a fireplace, bookshelf or top of a cupboard a cozy (Christmas) look.
Have fun!
