Craft Fair Series 2019-Wooden Christmas Houses-Idea #77 Must see!

Large house is 7” tall
Small house is 6” tall
Enjoy!🌸🌸🌸

[@nsmith6345]

The houses are really cute. Picture them with a square wooden dowel cut for a chimney and glued on.

[@vickyh7881]

So sweet of your husband to not only cut the wood but to sand it too! You owe him a nice dinner. (Preferably out. That way you win too.) I don’t know what wood cost but I was thinking I would buy a “set” for $25. I think most people would want a large & a small. So, I guess $10 & $15.

[@lindaguillemette2273]

Maybe think of doing a chrustmas tree shape....same idea just a deeper angle cut, and sell 2 houses, 1 of each size, a d a tree in a set? Would be cute on the mantle.

[@haleykay776]

So cute, if you did them smaller they would be perfect for a tiered tray/coffee/hot cocoa station xxx

[@SuperTamigirl]

These are so cute. I love seeing your hubby helping you out. My hubby does the same. I like when he shows me how to make them myself. Haha that way I can be like looky what I did. I think it keeps them young and guessing what you're gonna do next. Thanks for sharing.

[@dixiehuenink2533]

They really are terribly cute. I'm seeing a little village of them on a mantle or in a bay window,, on top of a piano, etc. Your sweet husband is the best. I'm so happy for you that God brought you two together. Thanks for sharing.😎

[@junefont2524]

What a great project! Your hubby is so sweet to help you with this project! I am totally making these for my craft fairs! I already work with wood and scrapbook paper, so this would be an amazing addition. Someone mentioned making these double sided, which would be great for people putting these on coffee tables or a pass through. Just need a small embellishment for the other side...maybe a stocking or snowflake...hmmmm...now my mind is racing and can't wait to get out my miter saw! Maybe your hubby can cut a few triangles for you...paint them green and make into a Christmas tree. People can mix and match and maybe get a set for $20-$25. Deanna I just love how you inspire us to create more things! Thanks for always generously sharing your wonderful ideas!

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Thank you!

[@patriciastamps6963]

Adorable. Your husband reminds me of my dad and his tools. The houses are easy to make at each step, but slot of effort and time went into each one. The price for a set 1 large and 1 small $20-25. Individually $15 large and $7 small.

[@rogerthat7001]

Hi Deanna, Great little houses, really love them. I have a friend that collects houses. Think these would be sweet tiny too, to sit on a mantel Christmas scene. I am so pleased to see you paint the bottom of your houses, it is a "professional" finishing touch. Nice Job! Enjoying your videos. You are an inspiration!. Thanks For sharing. Have a fun day.

[@jeanettep3642]

Hi Deanna.I had my gift store 20ish years ago. The price on the items you made were similar to some I had in my store. They were handmade by a friend of mine. Price for the 2x4 house would be $10 and the 2x6 would be $15. I am sure they are worth more now. I also would recommend a sealer coating on the paper portion of your project. :)

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Jayel Pritchett thank you!

[@jeanettep3642]

@@CraftyCraftsByDeanna my friend also stamped and heat embossed a scripture on one side of the house. That might make your project a year around piece of farmhouse decor. :)

[@ncgatorlady]

That’s great on the price-I had guessed, and was way under priced. 😱 And I second the motion on sealing the paper. Maybe a spray sealant would be the best way to go since you have so many?

[@dianne57m.shifthappens73]

Add a hanger would increase the value, also great in spring as bird houses

[@jeanettep3642]

@@dianne57m.shifthappens73 I like your birdhouse idea

[@amandaphillips7184]

Adorable! Can’t wait to make some for 🎁 gifts!

[@kimmos9598]

Deanna , great idea and thank you for sharing. In my spare time, I am going to make some of these. I like the different sizes so will do both. I don’t think it would take too long too cut and sand which (to me) might be longer than painting. Doing them as an assembly will help the process. I am really looking forward to doing these and seeing if they sell in the Houston craft shows. I think for our craft shows I may sell at $5 and $7 or $6 and $8 and a set at either $10 or $12

[@Tinkerbell31326]

These little houses are adorable. I would buy them. God bless your hubby.

[@cathylaycock5598]

I’ve seen similar done with fabrics on the houses toowhen I saw your craft tables nd you panned by the houses, I originally thought they were paper craft boxes. 😊. They would be fun too.

[@ValscreationsStudio]

Those are so cute! Great job to both you and your husband. I think they will be a great seller too. Hugs and blessings always

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Thank you

[@lisagardner1644]

You are the idea queen Deanna! Another great idea! These are so cute I want to make some.

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Thank you

[@inkyfeet12]

This reminds me of my husband designing/cutting bird house kits for a Boy Scout project -- working with wood is very fun. Good craft idea!! Since you have paper and twined both sides, could add a different embellishment (bell, small wooden word/star, etc.) on 2nd side to make them "reversible" (this may be very appealing to a buyer -- doubles the functionality). Are you Mod Podging the paper after it is adhered to the wood? (helps to seal and makes it a little more "durable", and a more finished appearance) These are sure to be best-sellers!

[@cathylaycock5598]

All the corner scraps can be glued together with wood glue make Christmas decorations. You could Modpodge scraps of fabrics on in different shapes. I’m picturing a shape like an octagon? Screw in a tiny eye screw then feed ribbon or twine. Might make cute decorations

[@truthtellernotahetur6334]

Absolutely cute! My husband cuts my wood for my Crafts too. We’re so lucky. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@melodieechard6209]

WOOH....Sweet hubby is in the craft mode.He did a fantastic job. They look fantastic Deanna!

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

He did wonderful!

[@elizabethbratby5426]

Hi from Australia... he is a wonderful man. You are a great team. A lovely idea.

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Yes he is! Thank you

[@avivapotts2442]

So simple, so lovely! Deanna - you could make a fortune hiring your wonderful hubby out by the hour lol!😃

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

sorry he is all mine! LOL

[@cyndipridham4911]

Could use gift bags with pretty designs and put lights behind that.

[@clombard7134]

You have a sweetheart husband!! Beautiful project! Thanks for this tutorial!

[@marilynruggeberg]

You are So Blessed to have such a Supportive Husband 💕

[@cynthiasaulter8823]

I love this idea. I had bought 3 different sizes of houses from Dollar Tree. They are like shadow boxes. Thinking of making more but decorating both sides. I already have the MFD. But I also have some 2 x 4's! I love houses.

[@barbarahairston4749]

Fun creative idea! Fantastic hubby😍

[@pdelmercado]

Great tutorial. You have the best craft ideas, I love your videos.

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Thank you

[@mollys5146]

That was so helpful having Mr. Crafty show and tell the measurements and saw. I am a better visual learner. And people who correct someone on words, can do it in a rude way. Some are very helpful and kind. I have said MODGE PODGE for years, so I am right with ya crafty sister. After my hubby gets well I want to have him cut me some but just for our decorations. Thank you for continuing to be so fun, and inspiring.

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Thank you!

[@vanessas.4616]

OMG they are the cuties thing, love to make some. Don't have any one to cut wood for me so going to see if I can find any plain ones already cut maybe not so wide. Thanks so much for showing this, your husband is a peach for doing this for you.

[@JudithBrummett]

your husband did a great job for you. He obviously supports you in your crafting.

[@karenstone327]

I love these adorable little houses, very fun idea!

[@joeberts9723]

Thank you for sharing. They are adorable!

[@carolllundy49]

Awwwww these and so cute. Will make a great decoration for Christmas. I love them. 😊❤️. I think $25 is a great price a set ( one small and one large).

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Thank you!

[@janscott821]

You have the sweetest hubby! These houses are adorable. I bought the greenery to make wreaths like yours at the dollar tree! 💖. Thanks for your brilliant ideas. Blessings💖

[@SHYsArt]

Love it. I always dreamed of getting into crafting with my husband but he has no interest. I love what you did. I have a idea if you want to use it. Make a card small like a front door and glue the back of the card to the wood and when you open the card it has a sentiment. You are the best!

[@Country1]

Oh these are adorable thanks for sharing beautiful tutorial have a blessed crafty day my friend!!💋😁💟😀💖💋

[@dianneeverett1633]

Cute little item making a big splash.

[@gerrydimas1261]

These are absolutely adorable! Love them. Great job. Please let us know what you decide on pricing.

[@little72867]

These are so stinkin precious Deanna. I love these and see a place on my window sill for these. Ohhh, Michael (my husband) will just love you for this..LOL. but he will do it. He loves wooden projects. Thank you for this and Thank you Ms. Deanna's hubby for showing us the process. You are a good man. Hugs to you both.

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Have fun!

[@cindymoreno6333]

Those are cute. Your hubby is great to help you.

[@barbaranoble9748]

I would put felt on the bottom of each house. I have nice wood furniture and I wouldnt want it scratched up. I have no idea how to price each piece!

[@marylutyger675]

I saw Gareth of Create at Home with G use a silicon spatula to press things down when using a glue gun. Seemed like a genius solution to me! Sure saves burned fingers and your scissors! These are really cute, Deanna!!

[@cherylchavez5971]

OMG...I LOVE these...all I need is to find someone to cut my wood for me! Thanks for sharing!

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Thank you

[@sandymckelvey1870]

These are adorable, only prob. is I have no one to cut them for me. My husband passed away in 2004. But I would love to make them. You are so good at these things. Thanks for sharing with us and God Bless both of you.

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Sorry about your husband. Thank you

[@dianehaun711]

Your hubby is definitely a keeper...but you already know that! Those houses are the cutest. A grouping on the mantle would be awesome. If a person was really into Halloween decorating they would be cute in those kind of papers too. Thanks for sharing! Oh and if you use a small bowl of even a couple milk jug lids under your painted house to set the unpainted part on while it dries it will keep the painted surface off the paper plate.

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Super idea!

[@debraspringers2098]

I love these houses. That was so sweet of your husband to help you. Have a blessed day

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

You too!

[@louisejohnston4876]

wow adorable! funny i made the same thing for my craft show but i didn't use paper i painted mine and distressed them i think they are winners too!

[@doditomancak5468]

OMG. These are adorable. This is my first year going into selling at craft shows. I have a regular job but I’m single now so trying to supplement my income. I’ve done several of your projects already that I’m taking to my it’s show oct. 19th but I’m definitely going to do these adorable little houses. Just probably won’t be able to get to them until after Christmas but thank you so much for the share!! Amazing!

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Thank you! Good luck at your fair! U will do great!

[@donna6740]

Beautiful!! Nice to see Mr. Crafty once again. He sure handled that saw faster than your paper trimmer. Thank You for your newest Sweet crafts. :)

[@laurenchapman7620]

Maybe make a couple look like old-fashioned barns... That would be epic!!

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Good idea!

[@barbaracollins163]

You are so lucky to have such a wonderful handy man! ha ha My son used to love to create in wood. The houses are adorable!

[@DesignsbyShell]

Great idea! Brings back memories of when I used to use my scroll saw and tole paint. Long time ago now! Hope you sell out! :-)

So beautiful tfs love your ideas

[@loricamper063]

SO CUTE...what a sweet hubby.

[@twostepgirl1]

Always nice when hubbies help us out. Love the houses, I'm thinking if they are a gift to put the persons first or last name on them. So cut.

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Yes!

[@ginalovato1942]

I thought you had used chip board when I first seen them. WOW!!!

[@donna9279]

These are so stinkin cute ! You have an awesome husband, my husband helps me too. We are lucky ladies to have them. We are definitely going to make these together. I wonder if it would have the same effect if they were spray-painted? Thank you so much for posting another awesome idea. God bless!

[@jackieray3860]

Awesome idea! Really cute little houses and a very different addition to your craft fair. Love it! A sweet little hubby to be a part of your crafting. TFS!

[@rogerthat7001]

an after thought.... :-)....They would be sweet if made reversible too - a wreath and on each side. A good project to do with kids too with pre cut wood. (Not that I actually have kid, but my friend do...

[@mystique1224]

Very beautiful.. Can u make a treat box for these. Not able to buy the wood right now

[@anitafitch1503]

I love them but I would love it to be two sided so I could switch it out! Wreath and bow on both sides!

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

You could make it like that!

[@cindywilliams3972]

These are so neat. You are just so talented!!! You are so lucky to have a husband to support and help you. Cindy/carrollton

Use a heavier wood?

[@AutismJourney_BeKind]

Hey Deanna. Omg these houses are soooo beautiful!! What a wonderful idea. You sure have the best hubby ever. Just wanted to let u know, the dollar tree has that exact wired/bendable garland, save a little money ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing 🏠

Love these, you and your hubby are a great crafting team.

[@ssumner9757]

Very cute & easy!

[@suzyemery]

Such a sweet hubby! The houses are truly adorable! And definitely eye catching at a craft fair...I'm not great on pricing. So, probably not much help there. My hubs would definitely do this for me, as well. Only he's getting ready to be in the field. Don't wanna give him one more thing to do! But after harvest....🙂 TFS ! Hugs n Luv 💟 Suzy x

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

What field?

[@randineff2740]

Cool idea

[@kristiolsen9290]

Love these and this idea. Adorable. I don't know about pricing, everyone says I'm to low.

[@marilyntyger5253]

Really cute idea.

[@ncgatorlady]

Those are super cute! Did you figure out a price point on them yet? I would pay $7-8 for the bigger and $5 for the smaller. Maybe you could even do a price break for multiples like you do with your other items? (Three for $20? ) It’s hard because you never know what the crowd will be like, and what other VENDORS are selling. Those are going to be a big winner for you! Thank you for sharing the idea with us.🤗

[@owlmakeitcrafts267]

These are so cute! Love how simple ans easy to make and look super adorable😍 your hubby is so sweet to cut ans sand them for you💙 thanks for sharing!💙💙

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

thanks for a realy nice idea

[@michellechristopher6468]

Luck you have a husband wish I had one again. I would make these there lovely 😊 for decor or scatter don table for dinner 🍽 TFS Deann double what you paid for wood, pine sticks , paint ribbon rope ball and blings and dived how many you made each thing. Cause I was thinking $7 for small house and $9. For large house or you could make a 5” house and sell three for $18. That’s cause I do everything I threes or six with flower arrangements I learned that from my aunties them. When we made party decorating. TFS

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

That’s what I’m thinking

[@mariaserpa-gauvin8405]

What a nifty idea. Showed the video to my hubby. When you started saying the size of the wood he said nope and gave the correct size. We both think selling the set for $25 would be fair. We are now talking about making smaller houses to make Christmas ornaments! Thank you so much for the great idea. Might get him to cut me some houses, in your sizes, for Christmas presents. Look forward to your next video

[@carolrobinson9897]

I love these! I think I will make some! Ps did you get my memory dex card, I sent it a week ago Saturday! I’m worried it never made it. Hope I put the right postage.🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

No ma’am not yet

[@carolrobinson9897]

Oh my , I think it’s lost then! I will try to get another one done tonight! Thanks for letting me know!!😞

[@seekingmycraftytribe]

Wow! These are amazing! These took alot of work so I would say $25 for the small and $30-$35 for the larger ones and really that's probably low balling it. Kudos to your husband for all of his hard work. ☺

[@angeewells]

So, so cute!

[@marilyncooper4846]

Soooooooo adorable! And, as you said, they're quick. I really think you need a top coat over the paper, whether more mod podge or something. I would think at least $10 and $15. ..... But you know what? This project is SCREAMING for a way to personalize it. A banner below the wrewth, or a tag hanging off the jute, or something. It can say "The _____ Family". (Which saves you from being an English major when it comes to apostrophes, as in "The ____'s") Personalize at the show, so peeps can take it home that day. ..... Warning: anything personalized tends to sell super well. So maybe make a bunch more? .... And don't be afraid to ask peeps to come back in 20 minutes to pick up vs on the spot. .... Again, great idea!

Yep! They have room to grow!
