Small Swedish Scandinavian inspired Christmas houses village models - handmade from recycled cardboard and painted in acrylic paint - contrast colour edged windows details

Single house with sage green colour walls and white roof, white window edging

My little house models are inspired by coloured Scandinavian buildings and my childhood dolls' house built by my father. I created these unusual, quirky sculptures because I wanted to decorate my bedroom with little crooked wooden houses and miniature Canadian log cabins. I build these from recycled cardboard boxes (mostly Amazon packaging) and cut out and paint each small piece by hand. I carefully cut out each window. Each sculpture is unique in shape, appearance and character. The interior is also painted white as at home I fill my little houses with battery-powered fairy lights so that the windows glow with golden or red light on winter evenings.

Also available in tiny scale inside my forest jars

Lights and batteries are not included in this purchase

My houses are completely solid once all the layers of glue and paint are dry - they feel like they are made from wood but are light, not heavy to hold. They are robust and do not tend to break if dropped.

I use artists quality acrylic paint on my houses so they are colour fade resistant and water resistant, but please protect them from moisture and extremes of heat temperature. They are not weatherproof and are intended for indoor use only.
