Last Minute Christmas...DIY Dollar Tree Snow Village

It’s almost Christmas and we’re still HO HO HO-ing at my house! Sooo... if you are one of those last minute decorators like me this year, I have a super-easy and inexpensive project for you…my DIY Dollar Tree snow village! It only takes a little bit of time and very little $$$ for this one!



Here’s what you will need:

• Snow village houses from Dollar Tree (They also have them at Walmart)
• White spray paint
• Mod Podge
• White glitter
• Small brush

And here’s what you will do:

1. Spray paint the houses and let them dry
2. Paint on Mod Podge in the places where snow would collect…on the roof, at the base, around the windows
3. While the Mod Podge is still wet, sprinkle the house with glitter
4. Shake off the excess and let dry

I think the snowy church is my favorite! Now just create a village scene and add faux snow and some little trees if you wish.

And…taaa daaa!…here it is! I only spent $4.00 since I already had everything but the little houses. Could it be any easier or less expensive? I love the old-fashioned touch it’s adding to my Christmas décor!

And…shopping alert!…while you are in Dollar Tree, be sure to check out these pretty mercury glass votive holders! I love the way they sparkle!

And just in case you need a few more ideas for last minute Christmas decorations, here are my vintage paper Christmas trees…so easy and fun to make that the kiddos could help you!

And still a favorite of mine…here’s another last minute way to add some Christmas to your home…my shabby Christmas centerpiece! All you need is scrapbooking paper, bamboo skewers and some greenery from your yard!

And speaking of snow…Baby Kitty is still thinking about the big snow (well, big for us here in the South) that we had last year and is crossing his toes that we will get at least one good snow this winter! How about you?

Remember to pin it!
