Decorative Spindle House Kit
If I had to pick between only making my own home decor or only buying store bought decor for the rest of my life, I would choose making my own 100%, and this Decorative Spindle House Kit is part of the reason why!
This Decorative Spindle House Kit is a blank, unfinished kit that I sell in my shop. I took the basic brown wood finish and transformed it into a piece of stunning home decor that blends into my style and aesthetic perfectly!
When a customer purchases the Decorative Spindle House Kit from my shop, they get to do the exact same thing with their own style, and I think that is the most amazing part of crafting!
How to make a Decorative Spindle House Kit
I started this kit like every one of my kits – by sanding each piece. When we cut these on our laser machines, it can leave a layer of residue that affects the finish on them.
Once each piece was sanded, I started painting! I mixed a bit of black into my blue paint to make a deeper blue, then painted the rectangle backing piece for the spindle house kit.
Once the paint was dry, I used a sander to distress the blue paint lightly. Next, I stained the house and spindle pieces with brown paint.
To do so, I mixed a bit of brown paint with water and used a wet wipe to spread the mixture onto the pieces. Allow the stained pieces to dry completely.
Then, use a sponge to drag white paint across the house shape. I wasn’t going for full coverage, so I kept a light hand.
For the spindle pieces, I mixed a bit of grey with white to make a lighter grey paint. Apply the mixture to each of the spindles and allow it to dry completely.
Next, I used a tool to draw the lightly carve the lines for the spindles into the pieces. Once that was done, I lightly distressed each spindle and started gluing them to the house shape.
Bring it all together!
Before I glued the house shape onto the blue background, I lightly brushed a small amount of white paint over the blue. Allow it to dry, then glue the house onto the board.
After the pieces were glued together, I used a bit of brown paint to add some detailing to each of the spindles.
Next, I assembled the kickstand for the back of the spindle house kit and glued it in place! Lastly, I glued some greenery to the top of the spindle house and added a little raffia, but I decided I liked it more without it so I just pulled them off.
I hope you enjoyed this Decorative Spindle House Kit as much as I did and decide to make them for yourself! I would love to see how yours turns out!
