[@dianejohnson7235]

What a sweet village!!!!! I love it!!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!

[@JenniferDecorates]

Thank you so much!

[@jimsingleton3790]

Hi Jennifer, Donna here! What a beautiful, precious little Christmas village! May I suggest putting some fairy lights in the snow? Thank you for sharing!

[@sheliahoosier4382]

love the white

[@lianeabeyta4515]

I did this last year with the ceramic colorful Christmas houses form the Dollar Store. I did put glitter snow on the roofs too. Then I took a very large tall oversize lantern, and put three tiers of hard white Styrofoam inside in a cantilever style with the tallest in back. Then added a couple of houses on each level with various bottle brush trees and twigs sprayed white. Tilted the lantern back and sprinkled in bag snow before closing the door. Ooopps, forgot.... added twinkle lights before adding the bag snow so they glow under the snow! It turned out so great and everyone loved it so much, I had to have a craft night for my friends so they could all make one for themselves.

[@JenniferDecorates]

What great ideas!! Love this!

[@nm9412]

I’m not a fan of repainted Christmas houses, but this really looks good! You did a good job of making it look classy.

[@mychristmasdecor]

WOW... it is amazing !!! Excellent job - Fantastic Christmas Village 😍🎄🎀

[@michelleeaton5876]

I LOVE your snow village. Absolutely great idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@shamrockgirl6595]

WHAT. A. GREAT. IDEA. 💡 I never thought of painting 🎨 them white! 🤔

[@JenniferDecorates]

Thank you! This was my daughter's idea!

[@willothewispl]

I have those same houses, from walmart. And another set almost the same from Dollar Tree. I painted and glittered mine too.

[@JenniferDecorates]

I bet they are gorgeous!

[@jo-annmaruszak9885]

Thank you so much for including the information on Department 56 houses. I was wondering if you were using those.

[@JenniferDecorates]

Yes I am!

[@helenk5579]

What a great idea! Houses look great!

[@JenniferDecorates]

Thank you!! 😊

[@southernsass2937]

Love this so much Jennifer. Great tip to start in the back.

[@karenallen3486]

Your Christmas Village is absolutely gorgeous! I love it white and antiqued. Such a great idea! Thank you for sharing. God bless

[@JenniferDecorates]

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!

[@lajoyceneafus3021]

Thanks Jennifer. The white village is definitely updated. I want to try this myself.

[@JenniferDecorates]

Please do!

[@glendamartin21]

Love the dry brush technique. I painted mine white last year. I’ve had by village for over 40 years. Thanks for the inspiration💚❤️

[@JenniferDecorates]

You are so welcome!

[@reggie9334]

What a great idea

[@JenniferDecorates]

Thank you! 😊

[@maryriehm4752]

You have such lovely taste.

[@JenniferDecorates]

Thank you so much

[@Jade-902]

I’m doing this 😍

[@KarmaZeusBoi]

This is gorgeous

[@meryleekrahn8452]

Love the way you made it look so peaceful eliminating the colors. I’m going to paint an old village I have. I may try to use gold paint the way you used the umber! Thank you for the idea!

[@JenniferDecorates]

Have fun!

[@sabrinagonzalez7419]

Jennifer what an amazing DIY idea. The little house look so beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us. Have a wonderful and bless night. 🕊💝🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💝🕊

[@JenniferDecorates]

You as well!

[@reclaimedtreasures5749]

Love the glitter snow on the roofs!

[@JenniferDecorates]

Thank you! I just love glitter! ha

[@denise5476]

Absolutely beautiful! 🎄

[@JenniferDecorates]

Thank you! 😊

[@janettewright5567]

OOOOhh What a great idea. I have an old village that I bought years ago at Walmart and haven't put it out because it just seemed so dated. Now I am so excited to try this, So pretty. Love your channel

[@JenniferDecorates]

Thank you, Janette!

[@suesaur]

I have that very village somewhere back with the tuba marked "seldom used"! I think I will do the antiquing AND some touches of gold. How fun!

[@JenniferDecorates]

Sounds like a fun evening of crafting!

[@candiceantrop4073]

Beautiful makeover and very affordable! Love the glitter even though it's messy it's worth it! Thanks for sharing! 🙂🎅

[@JenniferDecorates]

You are so welcome!

[@karlabarefoot8382]

What a great idea. They Beautiful. Thank you !!

[@JenniferDecorates]

Glad you like them!

[@sarahbattle9723]

Absolutely beautiful

[@lisamarie3328]

Oh wow why haven’t I thought about doin this to my Christmas village?! So budget friendly. I thought about replacing mine with White House’s. Now I wont have to! Genius idea Jennifer!! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful idea!! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@JenniferDecorates]

You are so welcome! :)

[@janetbrown8785]

What a great and economical idea!! Love it! ❤️

[@jenniferdavenportdesigns]

[@reginaparker663]

Thank you Jennifer

[@leamorrison9407]

Absolutely stunning!!!❤

[@JenniferDecorates]

Thank you so much!!

[@brittanys.7191]

I did this to the DT plastic houses and layered them on a tiered tray with fairy lights and bottle brush trees and they turned out so cute!

[@JenniferDecorates]

Great idea!!

[@lindah.1104]

Be sure and use inexpensive brands of houses! The “Dept. 56” brand is too collectible and worth too much on the secondary market to paint over!

[@Jade-902]

So true! Our thrift stores sells them for $50 a piece!

[@annedoucette7331]

Looks beautiful!

[@milkshake123abc]

Same with Snow Village.

[@milkshake123abc]

And Dickens Village

[@christineschiebel2890]

They are painted really well as compared to these. I agree don't do it to collections

[@elizabethphillips6467]

Absolutely love this idea!

[@JenniferDecorates]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@brunildaguerrero7218]

Súper, loved

[@joycetaggart3123]

[@pamdennis1007]

I'm so glad to find this page. They are beautiful. I have a paper mache 2 story house that I've wanted to do like this. I've seen some that painted pink, blue,gray etc. All over glitter. Most are Antique. Not sure what color to paint this house.

[@JenniferDecorates]

Well, do a color that makes you happy!

[@lorriehansen6873]

[@marthapingel130]

Beautiful decorated thanks for sharing 👍😘

[@JenniferDecorates]

Thank you! 🤗

[@susanholland6828]

Ohhh do I wish I would have thought of this a long time ago I gave away my whole Village (after it didn't sell in a garage sale ) now I am always buying the same look but the flat no dimension houses out there lol this could be fun 🏠🎄❤

[@JenniferDecorates]

Sorry to hear that! I hope you have a wonderful holiday!

[@catherinegardner8407]

Looks great! Many thanks!

[@JenniferDecorates]

Glad you like it!

[@fayecraghead6820]

Wow beautiful! I have the Dickens Heritage but so massive I didn’t put it up! I do have 5 trees and a lot of decor! Loving it so much! So pretty!🌲🎄🌲

[@JenniferDecorates]

Thank you, Faye!

[@sableann4255]

I bought a Christmas Village set YEARS ago on the clearance Isle at Walgreens, they were .99 each if that....I took 4 of them last year and turned them into a Haunted Village, this is the perfect idea for the rest...as I was thinking about sending them off to the Goodwill

[@christineschiebel2890]

I did a nativity set the same way, minus the glitter. Took an inexpensive set and made them elegant.

[@JenniferDecorates]

I bet it was stunning!

[@dawnross644]

I have all my Mom’s village pieces…all were inexpensive. Think I’ll update them !!

[@tracyhough1367]

What a difference the raw umber made…..TFS

[@JenniferDecorates]

Right?! Thank you for watching!

[@judihume3400]

What kind of white spray paint did you use, gloss or flat? I love this idea!

[@JenniferDecorates]

It was a flat sheen.

[@beckyscheller9358]

So much better

[@maryriehm4752]

I saw another tutorial. That you can paint ceramic with chalk paint ! Then wax. Or spray on top coat. So any ceramic you have. You can change to finish to match your decor.

[@JenniferDecorates]

That is a great idea!

[@kyhi6900]

I would have left them as they were but added the snow to the roof

[@bjohnson1149]

That is precious. I've got to start looking for some little houses. Thank you for sharing all your good ideas. By the way, do you sell the ribbon from your store online?

[@JenniferDecorates]

We are hoping perhaps next year we can sell ribbon online!

[@constantineangelgutierrez1851]

fab

[@vivienmcnaul109]

I already have a village for 30 years. Generic so not valuable my granddaughter and I will do it as she loves a craft project. She is 7. It should be fun.

[@JenniferDecorates]

Great idea!
