Christmas decor is evolving with time and people are getting creative in making some beautiful new stuff. The Christmas cottages are always a nice decor piece to have at home.

Here in a video where I show how to make a distressed wooden Christmas church. You can either make it with MDF or cardboard. Very easy DIY and looks gorgeous.

This is what my finished product looks like.

Step one:

Grab a large piece of cardboard and cut out your base shapes.

You'll need four small slanted pieces, a large wide house cut-out, and a longer rectangle with a triangle tip

Step two:

Paint all pieces black on the front and back

Step three:

Rub some wax on top of the black paint. This step is only needed if you want your church to have a distressed look in the end.

Step four:

Paint a white coat on top of all pieces front and back

Step five:

Grab a small piece of sandpaper and sand the edges and ever so slightly on top

Step six:

Stain a popsicle stick and cut it in half for the church's door

Step seven:

Glue all the church pieces together.

Wide piece in the back, skinny tall piece in the front and the small slants go on the roofs of both pieces

Step eight:

Use some other popsicle pieces to make a cross to put on the top of the church

Step nine:

Using a marker draw on some details like church windows

Step ten:

Cut out a triangle piece of cardboard to put on the back for support so your church can stand

Here is my church finished and looking great!
