Ornament House

Post by PutzinVT »

After seeing Howard's ornament houses. I thought I'd give it a shot.

House is 2" x 1" x 1 3/4".

Hard to see but has the tree hanger on the top.
Has a hole in the back to place a light from a string on the tree to make it shine.

Fun one to put together.

I need to come w/ a few more designs.

well, steve...that didn't take long...now you need to set up a production line...

paint all the cardboard for the sides, base and roof, etc before you cut out the pieces...

after you glue together, you'll only have to do some touch up before adding the glitter...

get the hair dryer ready!...anything to speed up production!...

my very best regards...

howard...

Great work, Steve. Good photography, too. It's hard to believe these are so tiny.
