I painted the wood with a coat of white gesso, then proceeded to add various colours of acrylic dabbers, mushroom, hazelnut, black, silver, copper. Once I was happy with the way it looked I cut some papers from TH retro stack and stuck them into the little compartments. I added all the little game pieces, mini bulb, mini bottles, bulb safety pins, washers, buttons, charms, chain and gems. I used walnut stain distress ink to colour the saying, bent the opposite corners back to make it look more distressed.
If you fancy a go yourself, I've got the houses for sale at £2, but I'm having to charge £1 postage as they are £1.72 to post. I also have some of the embellishments available for £1 a bag too. Use the email button on the side bar to contact me if you are interested in anything.
