DIY Winter Miniatures

Here's a couple miniature winter scenes I created a couple years ago. I still enjoy them, so I thought I'd share the simple ideas with you.

Winter Scene Favor / Placecard

This DIY miniature winter scene is sure to delight! It serves as a placecard, and doubles as a favor when you tuck a sweet Christmas treat inside.

Materials: Miniature trees and deer, artificial snow (these three items came from local five and dime), favor box (party supply store), ribbon style paper tag (Martha Stewart, or cut out yourself).

Instructions: Attach trees to box top with hot glue. Attach snow to surrounding box top with spray fixative. Attach deer with hot glue. Fold tag in half, attach to sides of box top with white glue or hot glue. Place Christmas candy inside box. Let the guests enjoy!

This project was featured on design*sponge, and won me some cool prizes in a holdiay entertaining contest!
