Glitterhouse progress...

So here are my first two finished glitterhouses!  Two down, three to go.  I am so proud of them.  They are taking a lot more work than I had originally thought but I am really enjoying making them!  My husband says they don't look like they are made of cardboard at all.  It took me forever to decide on the colors I wanted and even after I chose them I wasn't sure I liked it.  Now I am convinced it will look pretty good.  I settled on a vintage Christmas color scheme of pale pink, magenta pink, light teal, medium grey, white, and buttercream.  The other three should be done soon and all will be ready to adorn my mantle with vintage Christmas awesomeness!  (As soon as Thanksgiving is over, of course.)  ;)

  1. I am totally stalking your blog, LOL...I am so excited for you to finish these! I saw the ones on the Field Journal blog the other day...and when I googled for patterns...I came upon your blog. I am *so* going to make the peppermint marshmallows that you posted!

    You might like these little jars that I saw (If I have time, I want to make a village and these snow scenes as well):
