Different DIY Christmas Village Houses You Can Make
Christmas Village Houses seem to be all of the trend this year even though they are timeless! There is something so sweet and nostalgic about them and reminiscent of those small, glittery Putz houses that emerged in the early 1900’s, and then the ceramic Christmas houses that were popular in the late 1990’s to early 2000’s. What’s old is certainly new again! These are such fun crafts to make and are a great beginners project! They are so cute whether they are on a mantel or shelf. Plus, there are all kind of ways to create DIY Christmas village houses you can make including using wood birdhouses, dollar store houses or even a cutting machine. Here are a few ideas with tutorials for Christmas inspiration.
