You’ll swoon over this Valentine’s village tutorial.
We’re all familiar with the 3-D miniature Christmas houses, all set up as little village holiday scenes. These sweet houses can be created for any holiday, and these Valentines houses are giving us all the heart eyes!
Studio 5 Creative Contributor Michelle Crowley shares all the details for making an adorable Valentine’s village.
The style of the houses is called Putz houses, originating in Germany in the early 1900s. They have remained popular in the Christmas genre and are having another big moment in a new fun and creative way! These hand made paper mache confections are intended to be “ultra-extra,” – the more details, the better. The art of it is about the process and the creative expression you add to make each house unique.
