I just finished my first Candy Box house, Ted’s April 2006 house of the month. The house measures 3 ½” long by 3” wide and is 6 5/8” to the top of the tower. I made the brick paper from an Excel spreadsheet, the house is a bit darker than the tower, and then I “antique” it a bit The door is a stick-on from Pete, trimmed with a piece of chenille yarn I dyed. The roof and the tower peak is covered with cotton batting and then sprinkled with mica flacks. The tree is 2 bottle brush trees, bleached, trimmed to make the skinny branches and then painted, after I finished it was hard to believe how they started out. The two trees are joined with floral tape and then inserted them in a hole in front on the house.
The little Santa on the roof started out as a wire body wrapped in cotton batting. I used some glue on the arms and legs, not sure if this is how the originals where made but it seemed to work out. I made the face/beard/hat is all one piece made from Sculpey. Both Santa’s suit and bag are crepe paper over cotton batting. Sorry if this is to much info and to many pictures…
