New Year's house with walls made of paper tubes

To make a paper Christmas house you will need:

• thin paper;
• glue;
• cardboard;
• pencil;
• scissors;
• paints or felt-tip pens;
• all kinds of decorations.

Step 1. Each sheet or, equal in size to the others, a piece of the sheet you need to twist into a tube. For convenience, use a pencil (you need to wind paper on it).

Step 2 From the tubes, make four walls and two parts of the roof. Glue them together.

Step 3 Draw doors and windows on paper or cardboard, cut them out and glue them to the walls of the "pipe" New Year's house.

Step 4 It remains only to decorate the house and you can put it on a shelf or give it for the New Year!

To make a gingerbread house you will need:

Dough

• wheat flour - 3 tbsp.;
• natural honey - ¾ st.;
• butter 72-82% - 100 g;
• sour cream 26% - 100 g;
• chicken egg - 1 pc.;
• vodka, rum or cognac - 3 tbsp. spoons;
• spices for gingerbread dough (optional) - ¾ tablespoons;
• drinking water - ¼ st.;
• cocoa - 1 tbsp. a spoon.

Aising (glaze)

• chicken egg protein - 1 pc.;
• powdered sugar - 150-200 g.

You will also need paper, a pen and a ruler (for drawing and designing a house).

Scheme for the house

Step 1. Draw a template for a gingerbread house on a piece of paper (see photo).

Step 2 Cut out the pieces of the house.

dough preparation

Step 1. Sift the flour through a sieve.

Step 2 Melt honey in water that has just been brought to a boil. Cool the mixture to a temperature of 40 degrees (not lower than 39 degrees) and add half of the sifted flour, mix everything thoroughly with a wooden spatula, avoid lumps.

Step 3 While the dough is cooling to room temperature, break the egg into a clean bowl and lightly mix it with a fork. When the dough has cooled, add the egg to it and mix.

Step 4 Add sour cream, alcohol, butter and gingerbread mixture to the dough.

Step 5 Knead the dough with the remaining flour and add 1 tbsp. a spoonful of cocoa for mowing the dough.

Step 6 Mix thoroughly. The finished dough does not stick to the hands (only sticks to them slightly) and the work surface.

Step 7 Roll out the dough no more than 1 cm thick, apply a pattern and cut out the details of the New Year's house.

Step 8 In an oven preheated to 220 degrees, you need to bake all parts of the house for 10-12 minutes.

Cooking icing

Only 1 serving is listed in the ingredients. This house will require 3 servings (provided that the chicken egg is large).

Step 1. Proteins need to be mixed with a fork, but do not beat.

Step 2 Gradually add powdered sugar (2 teaspoons each) and mix with a fork.

Step 3 Ready icing should drain off the fork (if the icing is too thick, add a little cold water, about 1 teaspoon).

Step 4 Decorate the already cooled roof cakes with icing. If desired, you can first make a stencil on a sheet of checkered paper, then make a cornet from food paper and fill it with icing (apply a mesh, wait until it cools down and apply a drawing).

Step 5 Glaze all the details of the house, helping yourself with a toothpick or stick, making circular motion for better icing distribution. Glaze on the roof and walls is best left overnight until completely dry. In the morning, you can apply patterns of snowflakes or bead dots.

Step 6 On Christmas trees and other gingerbread figures, apply icing diluted with food coloring.

Building a Christmas gingerbread house

Step 1. Cut the edges of the walls slightly at an angle of 45 degrees to better connect them to each other.

Step 2 After applying the glaze to the seams of the walls, connect the house. Use cups of water to support the walls until the frosting sets.

Step 3 When the seams of the walls have hardened, attach the roof in the same way, substituting props so that it does not “leave”. After 4 hours, you can complete the decoration of the house at your discretion.

Step 4 It would be nice to make icicles with glaze by squeezing a thick drop onto the edge, and then stretching it along the length of the roof. Snowflakes can be made by first drawing them with icing on the film.

The gingerbread house is ready! It can be placed on festive table as the most delicious decoration of the New Year 2017.

Hello dear readers! Before the main New Year celebration, the question often arises, how to create a festive mood?! In fact, everything is elementary, start preparing for the New Year, the pre-holiday fuss is so “addictive” that there simply will not be time for depression. Especially if you slowly start decorating your house, then the festive mood will not keep you waiting! We remind you that we recently studied, and also studied the topic (we recommend reading it), but today we will “build” a house, or rather a house! In this review, we will take a closer look at how to make a winter house under the Christmas tree with your own hands. In principle, this decorative house does not have to be placed under the Christmas tree at all, it will look great on the windowsill, mantelpiece, flower stand, table, etc. Moreover, this craft will not take you a lot of time, and upon completion it will delight you with its excellent appearance! We will get such a decorative house with our own hands as a result of:

How to make a house craft.

For work it is necessary to prepare the following materials:

✓ Styrofoam thin sheet (substrate for laminate) or thick cardboard;

✓ Pencil;

✓ Ruler;

✓ Scissors;

✓ Stationery knife;

✓ Transparent moment glue;

✓ Spray can with gold paint;

✓ PVA glue;

✓ Rhinestones and small beads.

We draw a house blank on plain paper (you can see blank templates below). It is necessary to prepare the following number of parts: floor 1 pc, side walls 2 pcs, end and rear walls 1 pc each, roof 2 slopes.

Below are the cut-out blanks of the house, please note that the dimensions are indicated on each sheet (you can be guided by these parameters when creating your own house).

We cut out the blanks with scissors, apply them to a sheet of cardboard or foam, circle with a pencil, and cut out the real details of the house with a clerical knife. Next, cut out the windows and the door. We glue all the parts of the house into a single whole.

We proceed to the details, draw a chimney on paper (see photo), cut it out and glue it, then apply it to one of the roof slopes and create a mark with a pencil - the level of the chimney slope, cut off excess paper along this line, glue our chimney, apply the template to the foam sheet, circle with a pencil, cut out all the details, and then glue them into a single whole. We glue the resulting chimney to the roof.

The door can be made opening with paper tape, cut a hole for the door in one of the walls of the house, glue pieces of paper tape to the door leaf, for which we glue the door to the house, we got a kind of door hinges that allow the door to open. On this product, the door does not open, it is simply glued to the wall of the house.

Nuts. We draw future sills on plain paper, cut them out, apply the template to the foam sheet, trace with a pencil, cut out the details, which we then glue together, forming steps. Glue the resulting sills to the wall with the door.

We paint the house in gold color with a can of paint. ATTENTION: if you took a foam sheet as a basis, like ours, then paint the house from a long distance - in layers, i.e. applied one barely noticeable layer, leave the product to dry completely, after an hour apply the second layer, after another hour - the third layer. Perhaps even two layers will be enough! The fact is that spray paint corrodes the foam, if you hurry, it will simply “melt” your house.

Additionally, you can make a ladder, cut out two strips 10 cm long, 8 mm wide, and to them crossbars 8 mm wide, 2 cm long. We glue and paint the product.

We proceed to the decorative part, pour PVA glue slightly diluted with plain water into a saucer, create small layers of cotton wool, which we immerse in the adhesive solution, and then glue it to the roof of the house, forming small folds along the way (we imitate snow applied by a blizzard). Do not forget to paste over the chimney, partially the walls and the lower part of the house in this way. The winter house will look more harmonious if "snow" (cotton wool) is used a little.

We leave the product until the PVA glue is completely dry (usually it dries completely overnight), after which we glue rhinestones and small beads to the roof slopes, in addition, they can be dispersed over the surface of the walls and thresholds.

As you can see, making a house craft with your own hands is not difficult, and the result is really impressive. And if you put an LED candle in the house, then at night it will beckon with a warm light! As for the decor, here you can show all your creativity, cut out a bench, a stepladder, a well from paper, put up a fence, “plant” a couple of Christmas trees, “blind” a snowman or a snow fortress from cotton wool, and also put Santa Claus’s sleigh near the threshold, like to make such a sled we considered in, in which, by the way, many more interesting manufacturing ideas are presented Christmas decorations from paper.

The height of the decorative house turned out to be 22.5 cm, the “snow” looks very natural, the rhinestones create the effect of snowflakes shimmering in the sun, and the golden undertone of the product looks great when artificial or natural light hits it!

Dear readers, now you know how to make a craft house. I hope you liked the house under the Christmas tree, and you will decorate the interior of your apartment with such a cute craft! Don't forget to subscribe to receive the latest news from the "Comfort in the House" website.

Greetings. Dear guests of my blog!
After a long lull, I New Year's craft to the school exhibition for the youngest daughter. The work gave me great pleasure, it completely coincided with my creative interests, namely, my passion for miniatures, toys and doll houses.

The work took about 10 days in tight mode + the last sleepless night)))

As usual, crafts from first-graders are mainly a competition of parental efforts and skills))) I could not miss this opportunity) Of course, my first-grader was eager to actively help, so I allocated her areas of work that were within her power to the best of her ability , and without prejudice to the overall look of the craft) Well, more on that later...

Ithaca, get ready for viewing, lovers of details) There will be a lot of photos (sorry for some working photos in a mess, I worked with enthusiasm)))...

The size of the craft is about 60 X 18 X 27 cm
The theme is New Year's, I wanted to kill two birds with one stone: and the room-room in new year style make, and show the winter snowy beauty, the courtyard ...
Therefore, I divided the craft into two parts conditionally by the wall of the house.

The room is bright and chic

And the courtyard sparkles with snow-white snow

One end of a DIY window at home

The other end is open for viewing

The basis of my craft was this old box from Katyusha's toy, which lay in the bins, waiting for its finest hour)
For a long time I could not decide on the size and shape, but when I saw this box, all thoughts immediately fell into place)

I removed the plastic, and everything else - size and shape, graceful cutouts - I decided to leave everything like that.

Beautiful monograms on the box immediately attracted my attention, so just in case, I decided to keep their appearance on tracing paper (sorry for the crumpled tracing paper - what was at hand)

Preparing a box for decoration is a boring task :(
I pasted all the joints, bumps and ends with paper masking tape - a great thing!)

At the end of the box, I cut a window opening and pasted over the ends with adhesive tape (why - I don’t know - they weren’t visible in the future)

In places where it was necessary to make beautiful small bends (on the front, for example), I used white glue laminated paper.

Let's try a cardboard partition - a wall with an entrance door between the street and the room

The door just cut through - did without hinges

The walls of the room are pasted over with beautiful white wrapping paper with a small golden pattern, I already used it last year for the New Year's house in the garden here
The paper is glued with a glue stick, applied it to the box - so thin paper does not get wet and lays down evenly.

I made a New Year's border at the top of the walls.
I cut a napkin with a New Year's theme into strips and pasted it on with the decoupage method. white paper. Then she pasted paper strips with a pattern on the walls.
At first, a curb was planned only on the back wall, but plans changed along the way ...

The door was painted brown acrylic paint.

I glued strips of brown veneer on the floor, imitating a plank floor (you can see it in more detail in other photos)

According to the shape of the doorway, I made door trims (internal and external) from cardboard, painted with the same brown acrylic.

Then, on the door on both sides with Moment-gel glue, I glued wooden slats from a Chinese napkin under hot.

This is what the front door looks like.

At this stage, the partition wall has not yet been installed in place to make it more convenient to work with its design.

We tint the door with a dry piece of foam rubber. We lightly dip the foam rubber into the paint and apply a little on the surface of the wooden slats with light strokes. It turns out the effect of an aged tree.

We make brickwork on the wall.
To do this, I cut rectangles of 2.5 X 1.5 cm from thin but dense corrugated cardboard, pasted them in the form of brickwork with small gaps.
Then, with the help of a piece of foam rubber, she painted and toned the bricks, using brown acrylic paint and white gouache in different proportions.

Now you can install the wall.

The door opens.
For the pen I used a plastic ring on a leather strap. This little thing was found in my bins, I don’t even know what it came from, but it fit perfectly.

The back wall in the street part of the craft was pasted over with white voluminous wallpaper. They sometimes come across stars that glow in the dark, but, in my opinion, they do not spoil the overall look.

At the front door there is a small semicircular step, such as a porch)

I outlined the future step in front of the door and made it in size from cardboard. Very conveniently laid out around the rounding of a piece of the cut reel from the used adhesive tape

For snow on the ground in the yard, I used white foam material, which is put in boxes in household appliances or used for some purpose in repairs - I don’t know - there was a piece. It was about 2 cm thick, I cut it lengthwise to make it thinner. It didn't turn out exactly right, but it worked out for me. Very similar to snow.

Cut out in the form of a patio

I glued "snow" on the bottom of the box with hot glue, after cutting out a place under the step in the snow

The masonry step is glued into place.

And now the most interesting! Snow!!!
Gouache of medium humidity is applied to a small piece of dry foam rubber and with light strokes we imitate a snowball on the walls, doors, steps, etc.

The top of the wall seemed unfinished to me.
I cut out a roof from a strip of red corrugated cardboard, making teeth along the edge.
I glued the upper part of the roof to the wall, and so that the lower part lagged behind the wall, I glued a sushi stick between the roof and the wall - a three-dimensional roof turned out.

Put snow on the roof.
So much better.)

Let's leave the courtyard for now and return to the room.

For the window opening, I cut out 2 frames (the width of the rails is 1 cm), the size of which is 0.5 cm more windows foot opening.
Painted with white gouache.

According to the size of the window opening, I cut out transparent plastic from the package (it is 0.5 cm smaller on each side than the frame).
I glued the glass on the back of the outer frame, then glued the frame on the window from the outside.
I glued the second frame (without glass) from the inside.

Here is the view of the room at this stage.
I decided to extend the New Year's border to the right and left, because view is not finished

For the window sill I used a plastic corner

There wasn’t enough Christmas tree border on this wall, so here are gifts)))

Wonderful curtains with a golden pattern used to be a gift bag.
A barbecue stick and two beads are a cornice.
She hemmed the top of the curtain and threaded a cornice into the resulting drawstring.

Decor on the windows - a string of beads and openwork white lace on the bottom of the glass.

I glued such a construction from cardboard, the top is fiberboard. Painted.

Then these wonderful wooden products went into action)))

I cut out more beautiful and symmetrical shapes on clothespins with a clerical knife.
Then I painted it with brown acrylic, sanded the ends with sandpaper and glued it on.. It turned out to be an excellent vintage decor on the fireplace.

Wooden slats from Chinese napkins supported the style.

An old metal buckle from stocks came in handy for the fireplace grate)

I went over the worn ends with a little gold acrylic paint for gloss, opened it with acrylic varnish.
The end of the pedestal was laid out with bricks, later toned.

Christmas garland for mood)

From the inside, I glued all the surfaces of the fireplace with red melalized paper to reflect the light in the fireplace

From 3 strips of cardboard I made a chimney, painted, glued bricks (1 X 2 cm), painted them and toned them with paint.

This is how the design turned out.

I printed out a photo of the fire in the fireplace from the Internet and pasted it on the wall behind the fireplace.

Mantel clock - a printout from the Internet in white, pasted on red. and then on a gold self-adhesive. And all this on a cardboard circle. The center is painted.
A gold bow with balls-beads gave the fireplace a festive look.

By the way, it's a beautiful shot. To create it, I held the camera with one hand, and with the other I shone a flashlight on the fireplace and Christmas tree)))

The firewood in the fireplace is real, lightly sprinkled with red and golden sparkles.
The fire is also real. My brother put an electric light on the fireplace. But more on that later...

The horse is a wooden button. Herringbone - a wooden figurine from a bead store (I pasted it on a button, like on a stand), decorated it with a mother-of-pearl bead.

On the left is a toy figure, on the right is a real candle in a homemade candlestick.

Decor on a green branch - flowers and stars - Easter powder.

Felt boots - from a decorative felt napkin for creativity.

You can warm yourself by the fireplace in a cozy armchair. The prototype of this chair was a toy chair from my childhood, which is in my house for Mishutka (see my blogs)

I cut out the back from cardboard and painted it.
The seat is upholstered in fabric. having laid a synthetic winterizer.
I assembled the structure by gluing a wooden rail under the seat. Soft pillow under the back

I glued a thread of small beads and a golden twisted cord along the edge of the back. The beads are dyed gold.

The picture on the wall is a clipping from a magazine - an old New Year's card. Taken in a frame made of wooden lath. The frame is painted and toned in gold.

Lamp on the wall made of beads and accessories for jewelry. Everything is strung on wire.
In this form, it seemed unfinished to me, so already on the wall I attached a chain to it, such as a switch.

Entrance door and architraves are varnished. On the door there is a wooden New Year's deer)

As I wrote above, the door opens outward

Well, what is the New Year without a beautiful Christmas tree!

The Christmas tree was made from twigs from a small shapeless Chinese Christmas tree.
Decorated with beads, golden sequins in the form of flowers, shiny tinsel and sprinkled with sparkles. The top is made of different gold beads.

On the window toys

Lights sparkle, and under the Christmas tree Santa Claus with gifts

Look at the flame!

So, I will continue the tour)

In the courtyard, I made a fence of ice cream sticks and slats from a Chinese wooden napkin.
The parts are painted red, sanded at the ends for a slightly aged effect and glued with Moment-Gel glue.

Of course, there should be a bench next to the house.
I made it from wooden ice cream sticks, sugar stirring sticks and pieces of barbecue sticks.

After two repaints, I got such a bench, the color of which I didn’t really like, so in the future it was finalized further

They made a snowman in the yard)
Katyusha also actively participated in its manufacture.

Two styrofoam balls were connected together with a toothpick and hot glue.

From a strip of cardboard with the help of a stapler, I made a rim according to the volume of the snowman's head.

Red thread cut into pieces. Then Katyusha, folding each thread in half, strung the threads with loops on the rim.

The hat is almost ready.
I glued it to the head and gathered the threads into one bundle. She trimmed the resulting bubo with scissors.

The scarf was woven from 4 threads using the Macrame method (I remembered my childhood hobby)

This is how handsome he ended up.

The handles are made from real twigs. Only now I noticed that everything around was covered with snow, and the snowman was like new. Gotta fix it.)

The eyes and buttons are sequins, the nose is the sharpened tip of a barbecue stick, painted to match the color of a carrot.

Using hot glue and a toothpick, I installed the snowman in place.

I scattered foam snowballs around the snowman, fixing them with hot glue.

A tree and a bush made of real twigs. She formed a tree, fastened the branches with hot glue, wrapped the trunk with a napkin and glued PVA, when it dried up, she painted over the tree and the bush with one brown tone of acrylic paint.

I "planted" the plants in the yard on hot glue, having previously made holes in the "snow" for "planting".

On the front door Attached a New Year's wreath to the house.

Wreath, bow and bell from an old souvenir. put in order, bound with a gold cord, decorated with flower sequins and sweet multi-colored balls - Easter powder.
Everything was "powdered" with snow from white gouache.

Beautiful, but clearly missing a lantern.

To help, as always in matters of electrification of my crafts, my brother came

From wire, a plastic cap, parts from a laser pointer and a golden bead, my brother and I made just such a flashlight. Inside there is an LED bulb that shines with white light - just what you need to emphasize the whiteness of the snow.

The lantern was installed and some details were tinted with gold in one.

The wires go back. A battery is installed on the back of the craft

The reverse side of the craft is pasted over with white self-adhesive paper. Under it we hid the wires.

Not only the lantern is powered by this battery, but also the light bulb in the fireplace.
The general lighting in the room with LED strip, as I wanted, did not work out - there were no necessary materials.

The design is not very elegant, but that's all they could do on the last night before the delivery of the "object")))

Here is a design made by a brother on hastily. Not very aesthetic, but strong)
With one flick of the switch, we turn on both the lantern and the fireplace.

The lantern shines brightly and decorates the craft very much

Girlfriend suggested great idea about the snow, which she scooped from an Internet.
Fine white salt is mixed with PVA glue into a thick slurry and applied. You can also sprinkle some salt on top.

I lightly applied such a “snowball” with a brush on all surfaces: on a wreath, a door, architraves, a roof, a lantern, trees, a fence, etc. Such snow looked very natural at the junctions of walls and earth, along the edge of a step, along a fence, etc.
At first I was not impressed, but the result after drying exceeded all expectations. While the glue mixture was still wet, I rubbed all the snowiness a little with small silver sparkles. It turned out great!!!
At the slightest light, especially artificial, the snow plays like on a frosty day, you can hear a crunch under your feet...

The bench acquired its final form when it was decently covered with snow)

The entire craft box was pasted over with white glossy glue paper on top.

From the end of the box along the curly cutout, I smeared it with glue, and sprinkled it with sparkles on top.

Then, on the threads along the top of the neckline, she hung foam balls at different levels, also sprinkling them with slightly silvery sparkles.
It turned out unusual. The idea came spontaneously, and I am very pleased with it.

The other end of the box is designed like a wall of a house with a window.

There is brickwork on the wall, and at the top there is a roof - everything is the same as on the wall with a door.

On all surfaces I walked with foam rubber with white gouache.

A strip of foam is glued on the bottom, like snow in the yard. From above, at its transition to the wall, I applied snow from PVA and salt.

With the same snow from PVA and salt, she covered the platbands on the windows, the roof and a little wall. And all a little silvery sequins.
It turned out great.

By the time the handicrafts are handed over, i.e. by morning, my work looked like this.

Haven't been able to do anything else. And there are still a lot of ideas, as always.
But then it turned out that the works for the exhibition would be exhibited after school hours, so I had a couple of hours to spare.
So I did some work.

Hello dear readers! By the New Year, store shelves are traditionally filled with themed decorations - Christmas balls, garlands, tinsel, snow globes, miniature decorative houses.

Moreover, a number of goods sold in the relevant departments can be made independently without much difficulty and expense. We considered how to make rope balls, but today we will make such a small winter house:

What is needed to implement the idea.

It is necessary to prepare: thick cardboard or expanded polystyrene sheets (sold in packages in hardware stores, it’s simply an accordion under the laminate, the material is perfectly cut and glued), glue moment gel, scissors, stationery knife, ruler, pencil, cotton wool, rhinestones, 7 cm of rope, PVA glue, two 3 cm pieces of thin wire, 2 wooden skewers, a can of silver paint.

ATTENTION: for the manufacture of a miniature house, you can use thick cardboard, in this master class we replaced the cardboard with polystyrene foam sheets, but you can use ordinary cardboard!

The templates below will help you navigate, redraw them on plain paper, cut out, applied to sheets of polystyrene foam - circled with a pencil, cut out with a clerical knife, under the ruler. The following parts should be obtained: floor 1 pc, side walls 2 pcs, end and back parts 1 pc each, roof slopes 2 pcs.

We cut out a window on the back of the house, glue the house with a transparent glue moment, for this we glue the side walls to the “floor” part, then the end and back, and finally the roof slopes.

Prepare the rest of the decorative details.

Porch.

The photo below shows the details that need to be prepared, cut them out and glue them together.

Then we prepare the thresholds, the number of parts will depend on the height of the steps, in this example we cut out one wide rectangular layer, three narrow strips, glue all the details, forming steps, then apply the thresholds sideways to the expanded polystyrene sheet, circle, and cut out two identical side walls, which then glued to their rightful place.

Cut out a rectangular piece - the door. We glue the door, thresholds and porch visor to the house, on the sides on the first step we glue two wooden skewers, which also need to be glued to the bottom of the visor.

Chimney.

We cut out a rectangular template, form a chimney out of it, apply it to one of the slopes on the roof (from the side), put a mark on the chimney template according to the level of the roof slope. We cut off the chimney template according to the left mark, glue it, apply it to a sheet of polystyrene foam and circle it with a pencil, cut it out, cut all the details with a clerical knife, which we then glue together in the form of a chimney. The resulting chimney is glued to one of the roof slopes. The whole process of making a chimney is shown in the photo below.

Bench.

We cut out the necessary details from polystyrene foam or cardboard, depending on what material you decide to use a decorative house to make your craft. From the wire we form handles for the bench. We glue the parts into a single whole, namely the back of the bench, seat, legs and handrails.

Ladder.

We cut out the details of the future miniature staircase - two long side strips and 5 rung-steps. We glue all the details together.

Sled.

Cut out the necessary details (see the photo below). We glue the runners of the sleigh, glue the parts “for sitting” to them, at the end we glue the rope.

The photo below shows the details that need to be prepared for pasting the space around the window (like shutters). We cut out a square from polystyrene foam, retreat from the edge inward on each side by 7 mm, draw an inner square, which we cut out with a clerical knife and a ruler. We cut the resulting frame in the corners, and glue the parts around the window.

Painting.

The house, as well as all the above details, must be painted. The winter house craft will look even more impressive if you use several shades of paint, for example, white and silver. In this example, one paint color was used, namely silver, since the main undertone of the material used obviously looks very impressive, after painting the product resembles ice sparkling in the sun.

ATTENTION: if you took polystyrene foam as a basis, then when painting, do not overdo it with the amount of paint, it must be applied in thin layers from a long distance, otherwise the chemical composition of the paint will simply corrode the cute, small winter house.

Create a snowy effect.

We take a shallow container, pour PVA glue into it, split the cotton wool into thin small layers, immerse them in glue, squeeze out the excess adhesive, and glue them to the roof surface. According to this scheme, we cover the entire surface of the roof, including the chimney, in addition, you can “snow” the corners of the house, a bench, a stepladder, a sled. Leave the product to dry for about 24 hours.

Miniature pots with snow globes.

The main entrance to the house can be decorated with flower pots with "snow balls". We cut the woolen threads into segments 1 cm long (15-20 pieces will be enough), take a large bead, wrap it with foil, soak all the threads for 5 minutes in PVA glue, and put it on the bead in foil, forming an openwork vase. We leave to dry, near the heating battery the product will dry out somewhere in 4 hours. Such planters need to prepare 2 pcs. We remove the dried planters from the beads, carefully separating the foil, paint them from a spray can, glue the hanging ropes on the sides. Then we form balls from cotton wool according to the size of the pots, lightly coat them with PVA glue and put them in miniature pots. On the sides of the door, with an awl, we create punctures, where we insert small pieces of toothpicks, fixing them with glue for a moment, and we hang flower pots with snow balls on them.
