My First Practice Build

Post by AFRAMEPUTZ »

Here is my first practice build of a pattern that I found on paperglitterglue. it is modeled after one of the houses from the set of 8 that I posted earlier.

This was really just a practice build to familiarize myself with cutting and gluing and coating with sand.

It is also pictured next to the original.

Thanks for looking!

This was the first one I did as well. Mine was all white.

It's a very appealing design.....

LOVE your colors!

dale...certainly looks like you have it all figured out to me...cutting, folding, painting, coating with sand and snow on the roof... :)

You did a great job. I am so honored that you used one of my patterns. I think this is my favorite of that Christmas series. Your colors are wonderful.

Thanks everyone!!

And Pete...yes! I definitely want to do some in coconut once I get some practice under my belt! The sand looks pretty cool too, but the coconut just adds a "whole nother" level of Christmas!
