2024 PR0JECT 1…TRIANGULAR CANDY BOX HOUSE

[Howard]

Greetings to all…

It’s a brand new year and time to start a new project…this one is my version of a vintage candy box house I saw during an internet image search…

The original had a flat base, a printed picture of Santa and a tired looking sprig of holly attached to the front…my version has a thicker, house-type base, a berry topped tree made from a short piece of craft store item identified as “Artificial Canadian Pine Pipe Cleaner Wired Stems 12” x 20mm” plus the Santa figure I posted in November…here’s the link on how to make the figure… https://www.cardboardchristmas.com/foru ... =35&t=2269

This project also uses one of the reproduction stick-on doors from Pete Oehmen…it’s Number SO-1g…here’s a link to his site… http://www.cardboardputzhouses.com

The pattern sheets are below the picture of the three major parts…I’ll post the brick graphics soon…plus pictures of the completed project…stay tuned…

Here is a PDF for red brick graphics...but don't feel locked into the one I used...an internet search of "printable brick graphics" will yield other patterns...

Hi everyone!!

Here is my version of the triangular candy box.

The santa is a vintage piece. The treee is made from 2 small bottle brush trees that were first bleached and trimmed to size. I then painted them and twisted them together. The wires are wrapped in floral tape.
