Here's another of my series of candy jar top house. It's based on one of Howards Spooky town houses. Added a bit of my own flair.

What a wonderful idea to use the crystal beads on the fence. |

Well to answer a few questions. The leaves are a product called "Flower Soft" A bit pricey, but a little goes along way. The type I used was call Autumn. I have made 5 total Jar toppers. A standard house A church A Easter Jelly bean factory house A 4 of July flag house A Halloween house (The one picture above) I think I posted pictures of all of them to the forum at one time or another. As for anything new, nothing as of right now. Supposed to snow this weekend. Just a flurry, but it starts to get me in the mood to make some more houses. Thanks for the comments. |

That stuff can be pricey but the effect is wonderful--I posted this link elsewhere in the forums but in case you missed it--here's how to make your own...for significantly less http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_tz3P9NOcY |

The flower soft looks like a wonderful product!! I have been using sawdust for the bases on my Halloween houses thanks to Howard’s great idea, but the darker colors of the flower soft may work out nicely as well. I just love how everyone shares their wonderful ideas. |

Wonderful job, Vermont. I've made a bunch of little houses based on your original posting, which I intend to give as gifts this Christmas, once I figure out the best way to attach them to the jar lids. Any trial-and-error suggestions? |

Hard to see in the picture. Using a circle cutter, I cut out a circle of foam core board. I then glue it down to the jar lid top. Using lots of glue. Oh, I previously had glued the jar lid to the ring. The ribbon has two purposes. It decorates the jar a bit. But more important it hides the seam made of the foam core board glued to the lid top.
