Halloween Sweet Shop

 Halloween Decor

When I found a tiny, spooky looking, house I knew I needed to make a miniature Halloween sweet shop.  Read on to see how you can create one yourself:

Here is the little cardboard house as I found it at the thrift store for $1.99.  It looked as though it had been painted orange at first and then brown on top.  Since I was using it for Halloween and I liked the layered coloring I decided to leave the paint as it was.

Here is a set of 6 similar cardboard houses that you can decorate however you would like.

The first thing that I did was to add some faux chocolate bars to the front.  These are sections of clay that I cut into rectangular shapes, scored to create the break apart lines and then painted in acrylic once dry.  I attached them to the house with hot glue.

Using plastic sprinkles and craft glue I added a textured roof.  Just paint on a reasonable thick layer of glue and then press your sprinkles into place.  My 'sprinkles' are the tiny plastic bits from inside of a Find It toy, but here are some similar.  Unless you snag a Find It toy for a dollar at a yard sale (like I did) it's way cheaper to buy faux sprinkles.  Just mix and match the colors of your choice.

I finished up the house with a few more details; the Sweet Shop sign label is two layers of puffy paint, The pumpkin and ice cream candies are clay that I pressed into a candy mold and then painted in acrylic, the dollops of whipped cream are light weight spackle and the tiny chocolate bits were made just as I made the larger bars.

And that's my Halloween sweet shop!  I like to display it with the rest of my Halloween fake bakes.


I hope you enjoyed this fake bake post, thanks for stopping by!
