Vintage Glitter Houses

Have you been eyeing those adorable little glitter houses sold in stores, or seen a vintage one that caught your eye? They can be pretty pricey to buy, but super inexpensive to make yourself!
Turn some cardboard and a glittery mess into a beautiful, vintage ornament for your Christmas tree or mantel.

The final product is pure magical vintage awesomeness!
I have a free printable template available on my blog. I used this template to cut out the cardboard pieces needed, then taped them together. Don't worry about it not being pretty at this point...it will be! I did attempt a free handed template that was a little larger, but I will just say - using the printable template is way easier.
BEWARE! It will look like a glitter explosion happened in your home that may take the better part of a year to clean up... but it's worth it, right?
YOU WILL NEED:
-Cardboard or cardstock/heavy paper
