Decorating My Valentine Village

 

Valentine's Day

Here are the houses ready to be decorated right after I put them together.

The first thing that I did was to paint them using acrylic paint in shades of red, pinks and gold.

Once the paint was dry I used lightweight spackle to pipe on what looks like icing.  While it was still wet I added in sprinkles (Dollar Tree miniature foam balls) and faux cherries.  The cherry chimneys are my favorite part of these houses 😍

I wanted to add some chocolate to my valentine houses, so I took  these foam hearts and painted some of them in shades of brown...

...and attached them to the fronts of my houses.

To make my house look a little more 'freshly baked' I sprayed them with an adhesive spray (Dollar Tree) and then lightly sprinkled on some cinnamon.

Not only does the cinnamon add to the baked good look, but it smells wonderful too!

Here are my houses on display with other Valentine treats
I've added links here if you want to make any of them yourself:


The cakes were made with Styrofoam covered in light weight spackle/ joint compound that was tinted with acrylic paint.
The macaroons were made with Sculpy clay (painted with acrylic) and spackle filling.
