halloween house

About 3 years ago before I got into minis, I made this haunted house out of cardboard boxes.  I got the directions out of a woman's magazine Halloween issue.  I put electric flickering tea lights in all the rooms.  It gets lots of ohhs and ahhhs from the on Halloween night.  It's more impressive in the dark!


 I decided to make a new version from a Woodcraft puzzle house that I got on super sale at a craft store that was going out of business.






I'm not to concerned with scale. (I think the house is about 3/4" scale.)  I'm hoping to make it a whimsical gothic style! 

It will probably be a neighbor to the card board box house. Hopefully I'll finish by Halloween!

  3. So cute! I have 2 Halloween houses. This is how I got into minis just like you! So funny! I've never gotten one of these puzzle houses. I'm sure this will be a cutie!
