Glitter and Lace Christmas Village

I transformed a set of plain paper mache house boxes into a new illuminated Christmas village decorated with glass glitter and lace.
I love my new glittering Christmas village!
I began by spraying all the paper mache with Plutonium spray paint in Polar. It is the truest white I have found in a spray paint.
I glued lace into all the window panes and doors of the house to add a frosty appearance to them.
The roof, window panes, and yards all got glue and glass glitter treatments. The glass glitter sparkles just like freshly fallen snow.
I trimmed the eaves of each house with more white lace to look like frilly icicles.
The finished houses are sparkly by day and lighted by night!
Each house has a strand of battery powered LED lights inside, so they light up at night.
