Step 1: Write down and transfer your message
Start your DIY project by writing your personal message or a Christmas quote on a sheet of paper. This way you can test which font you like best. When you are happy, transfer the message lightly onto the decorative base with a pencil. You can use graphite paper for this. Then trace the lettering as neatly as possible with a black fineliners.
Step 2: Paint the houses and stick them together
Now it's time to add some colour! Paint the small houses with craft paint according to your personal taste. In our example, we have opted for the festive colours white, carmine red and terracotta. Customise the houses according to your personal taste. Once the paint has dried, you can stick the houses together. Make sure that all the parts are firmly attached to each other.
Step 3: Arrange your Christmas landscape
Now you're almost there! Arrange the painted houses together with fir trees, gnomes and other scatter decorations on and next to the decorative bases. Create a magical Christmas landscape that looks cosy and inviting. Make sure that the decorations are evenly distributed so that everything looks harmonious.
This creative idea shows you how easy it can be to conjure up a breathtaking Christmas decoration with a decorating ring and a little skill. In no time at all, you will have created a unique and personalised decoration that is guaranteed to turn heads.
