Craft magical miniature worlds at Christmas time. This Christmas market scene was arranged with many different treats.
Create a Christmas Market Scene
Glaze the house in the shade Cherry and allow the paint to dry. If desired, use a branding pen to burn lines on the outside to create a wooden plank pattern.
Glaze the wooden sticks, the table and the square rail in brown and let them dry as well.
Stick the glazed wooden sticks on the roof. Glue three sticks to the table top and two more to the front of the table with some space between them.
To make shelf boards, first saw the square strips to the desired length. For the long shelf, glue a complete wooden stick to the square strip and attach it to the long wall in the little house.
For the shelves on the short sides, split a wooden stick in half and glue this to a square strip as well. Then glue the shelf into the house. If you wish, you can glue wooden beads as "hooks" under the shelves.
Fix the fairy lights under the roof with hot glue and decorate the gable with pine greenery.
Crafting treats for the Christmas market
To ensure that the small stall at the Christmas market is visited a lot, you will need a selection of different sweets. These are easily made as follows:
Gingerbread candles: Glaze heart scatter pieces brown and when dry decorate with white Gelly Rolls. Glue cords to the back and hang on the hooks of the shelves.
Candy apples: Cut bamboo skewers into pieces and glue one wooden ball to one end of each skewer. Cover the wooden balls with Window Fantasy and leave to dry.
Burnt almonds: For the bags, punch out small circles with a motif punch and cut in half. Glue them together to form bags. For the almonds, mix beads with craft glue, fill the amount into the bag and let the whole thing dry. Arrange the baked almonds in a glazed wooden box.
For the big almond bag, twist a complete folding paper into a bag.
Cotton Candy: Cut bamboo skewers and wrap them with fairy wool. Use an awl to poke holes in the bottom of a wooden box and insert the finished cotton candy.
Decorate the Christmas market scene as desired with other miniatures and scatter pieces.
