Ordinary Dollar Store decor can be made into fabulous with a little paint and glitter! By Design Dazzle

1: Purchase ceramic village houses from the dollar store.

2: Spray paint the house with primer. Paint the house with craft paints. Choose fun colors to match your decor. Immediately sprinkle glitter all over the village house while the paint is still wet.

3: Cut a piece of cardboard to fit your village (I used a cake board). Fold crepe paper into pleats and hot glue to cardboard. Finish all the way around your cardboard piece.

Parental supervision needed with kids and hot glue.

4: Cut a piece of tulle and hot glue onto cardboard.
