This little project came about when I was scrolling through Instagram and saw a photo of
Young House Love's pink beach house in the snow and thought, 'I want to make that'. So I did! I decided to make a miniature 2D version of the house using layers of card on a wooden base.
After drawing out a template for the house I cut the shape out of wood using a saw.
To make the features of the house I used cartridge paper, brown card, mountboard and a wooden kebab skewer.
I tried my hardest to mix up the wonderful shade of pink that the Petersiks painted their beach house. I used acrylic paint on a piece of cartridge paper glued to the wooden base, which I scored with a craft knife to make the slats.
I think my favourite details are the fence at the front and the little top window. I had to work with the tiniest slivers of paper!
The house turned out just as I was hoping. I think it would look lovely as an ornament on a mantlepiece, or as a Christmas decoration if I looped some ribbon on the back.
Now I'll be on the look out for other cute houses to recreate in miniature.
