Two-Toned Ceramic Houses Target Dollar Spot DIY
“Come in, -- come in! and know me better, man! I am the Ghost of Christmas Present. Look upon me! You have never seen the like of me before!”
― Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
When I was little, I always watch The Muppets A Christmas Carol which made me aware of the actual A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens when we read it in school & actually enjoyed {still enjoy} the classic Christmas story again & again.
I think the holidays are a great time to craft as you can turn on your favorite holiday movie & pass the evening by.
This year, I took a few of Target's Dollar Spot ceramic houses & DIY'd them--just a little. Each year, it seems that Target's Dollar Spot re-does their take on ceramic houses. I noticed this year, the holiday Target Dollar Spot ceramic homes have either rose gold, silver, gold roofs on a white home. The metallic roof homes were $5.00 each.
The homes I painted were from Target's Dollar Spot fall collection. I purchased these homes for $3.00 each.
For the two white ceramic homes, I painted the base rose-gold & gold. On all three ceramic homes, I made a tiny wreath & adhered it to the home's fronts.
I purchased my paints at Target & the wire wreath roll via Hobby Lobby.
You'll also need painter's tape, hot glue gun, ribbon, & paintbrush.

Wreaths

| Stepp 3 Creating the Wreaths |
I took the wreath wire & cut small strips. Then I wrapped each strip in a tight-small circle to make a wreath. I added a sliver of black ribbon to each wreath before hot gluing onto the homes.

Pinecones
In addition to painting the Target Dollar Spot houses, I also painted pinecones in matching colors to arrange in a little grouping.
