Last weekend, I managed to spend a few hours working on the front porch of my Halloween dollhouse. I want to get a jump start on this before the school year gets underway.
I decided the front porch needed miniature window boxes. Small cardboard boxes were cut in half, spray-painted black and then hot-glued beneath the windows.
I found decorative cardstock that I cut to size and glued around the windowboxes.
The boxes are filled with dried moss, miniature dried flowers, miniature leaves and Halloween cupcake picks.
Burnt orange paint was added to the balcony along with more decorative cardstock and ribbon.
I'm hoping to spend more time on it the next few days. Have a thrifty/crafty weekend, friends! Boo!

So cute!!! I keep thinking some day I will find a dollhouse at a sale ....nothing so far! You've got me thinking though...I don't really have a big enough space to show off a large house, maybe I will use a large cardboard house. You are very clever your house is just darling!!
It's so much fun to follow the progress of your Halloween House. The embellishments are adorable!
Happy Weekend!
