PAINTED DOLLAR STORE CHRISTMAS HOUSE

November 20, 2020 by madincrafts Leave a Comment

I have a thing for house decorations at Christmas time. I don’t have a traditional Christmas village, but I decorate with dozens of other kinds of houses: paper mache, ceramic, and wood. When I saw this dollar store Christmas house sign, I knew I needed to bring it home and paint it in holiday colors as the newest addition to my collection.

WHAT YOU NEED TO PAINT A CHRISTMAS HOUSE SIGN

Be sure to check the holiday section of your local dollar store for fun craft bases like this! I decorated my house with craft paint and glitter, but you could also use markers, watercolors, or scrapbook paper.

These are all affiliate links, if you make a purchase (of anything from these retailers, not just these items) after clicking through, I will earn a small commission. Ads and affiliate links are the way I am able to keep this website running and to offer you free tutorials all year long. Thank you so much for supporting me and Mad in Crafts!

HOW TO PAINT A CHRISTMAS HOUSE SIGN

Dollar Store Christmas House Decoration

  1. Paint the wall color first.

    Go ahead and paint over the Christmas lights. Those will be covered in Mod Podge and glitter in the last step of this process.

  2. Paint the other details of the house.

    Use whatever color scheme you like the best.

  3. Add Outdoor Mod Podge to the snow-covered areas.

    I didn’t paint the wood white underneath the Mod Podge, and I wish I would have. In my version you can see the wood through the glitter, making it less white than I would like.

    Create some nice, “snowy” dimension with Outdoor Mod Podge.

  4. Mix up your glitter snow.

    I chose to use both chunky and fine iridescent glitter to give my snow more sparkle.

  5. Sprinkle on the glitter and shake off the excess.

  6. Add Mod Podge to the Christmas lights. Sprinkle with glitter and shake off the excess.

  7. OPTIONAL: Seal the glitter in with a coat of Mod Podge Ultra.

USING THE PAINTED CHRISTMAS SIGN

I haven’t decided yet how I will display this Christmas house sign. I might add it to the center of a wreath, or I might just lean it up on a shelf as a backdrop to other decorations. You could also hang it directly on a wall. So many options!
