Darice 2863-04 Small Paper Mache House Box for Craftwork, Includes lid, 6-Inch

This set of three paper mache houses are sturdy, and an adorable way to let your creativity run wild. I have already made the smallest one as a decor in my craft room. You can paint them, decoupage them,or even add material to them. I’m saving the largest one to make a Faux gingerbread house this Christmas. I think I’ll paint it red and white, add dimensional snow and decorate it with Santa and Mrs Claus. I’m adding small led light to the roof and a battery operated light on the inside to show through the little windows! It’s an awesome set and it is highly recommended!

For a papier-mache box, this is pretty sturdy. The box itself shuts with a satisfying "thunk."Mine arrived with mysterious tiny ink scribbles on the roof, but as it will be painted that's of no consequence to me.Mine is not quite as perfect as the one in the photo, though it's close. If you buy one to prep and give as a gift, you may need to sand off extra paper here and there around the windows and door, and you will need to seal the joins at the odd angles created by the gables in the roof.For the price, I'm very pleased with this box.

Overall adorable... the largest ones base was a bit pushed in but useable.. used to do "gingerbread" houses. Did not fall apart as feared since "cardboard/peper mache" nice packaging as they sit inside each other. could do these easy for different homidays/seasons

Used for a science project. paints easy and looks great.

I bought these cute houses for art therapy. This is a great project for all ages,whether you paint them or use wood and mini stones like I did. It's very inexpensive and easy.. It's fun to build your dream house...and I still have two more to do,yeah! I'm trying to upload pics..
