Christmas Village Shadowbox

"This darling Christmas Village Shadowbox uses our salt dough houses and is a beautiful addition to your fireplace mantel for the holiday season. This DIY shadowbox makes a wonderful Christmas gift too! I have always loved shadowboxes, and I’ve seen so many cute miniature clay houses, that I knew putting them together would fun! The little houses are made from salt, flour, and water and are super easy to put together. Instead of the salt dough trees, you can use bottle brush trees."
