The cutest Xmas DIY you've ever seen/ Cheap toy houses makeover!

Hi everyone and welcome to my channel, today I'll show you a Dollar tree makeover! I've already used these doll houses to make Diagon Alley shops, and this year I've decided to make Christmas shops! I used real Paris shops sign photos for them, to they look exactly like Old World vintage shops)

This is all very pretty, but the idea of how to make a table out of a button was mind blowing, I'll use it for sure in some of my projects!

[@RustAndStardustDesigns]

I’ve been hyper fixated on this for days, scouring the internet to find these buildings. I’ve even got my husband and brother searching 😂 These are so gorgeous ❤ Thank you for sharing your art with us.

[@alejandradz174]

I know!!! They're sold out on the website she said 😢 any luck yet? I'm searching too

[@RustAndStardustDesigns]

Day 2 of searching. My brother suggested checking out some scale model railway buildings, but those are pretty expensive. Still searching!

[@AVspectre]

I wish she listed them. Even if I can’t source them for Christmas this year :)

[@alejandradz174]

I found one model on eBay. But its price is higher than I thought. :/

[@RustAndStardustDesigns]

@@alejandradz174I FOUND SOME! Dollar tree in the “quick Christmas gifts” section! I’ve only been able to find 3 different models, but I’m cutting them up and glueing them together to make them look different.

[@cherylbesel7210]

So beautiful, the work you've done will be appreciated many years to come.

[@manofthehour6856]

GREAT WORK, Irene!!! I have seen some of the shops and thought they had potential for actual train layouts, etc., so I am glad to see how you took these models, which are really nice basic designs that invite the creative types like yourself to infuse a healthy dose of artistic style and realism to make something absolutely charming. It shows how these days, people can make some magnificent creations for very reasonable money. Thank you for sharing this!

[@mdnisg61]

I’m so impressed on how much you did in making these houses.

[@berthamiles6507]

You are the best at painting....you make it look so real. Such a good eye you have. I'm afraid mine would be real primitive compared to yours.....I need to watch this and you other videos more to see how you paint.

[@sheenObeenO]

This was so enjoyable n inspiring to watch. I've been trying to collect Xmas houses over the yrs, but they're so expensive. I have to wait til after the holidays to buy it on clearance, but by then, there's a limited amount of the leftovers. So thanks for making this vid for ideas to make customized village houses on a budget.

[@GenNairick1]

oh I love these!!! they look so real. and would look great on a mantel.

These turned out really nice! I’m currently painting my little houses so I can add my accessories to them. Hopefully I’ll have everything set up in November in the cabinet I bought for my Christmas village.
