Candy Shop Facade, almost finished

Hello dear readers,

It's only a small project but it takes time to make.  It is also an opportunity to show how to make a relatively easy shadow box which looks very pretty hanging on a wall and can serve as a nice gift.

Before gluing on the window frame,  The bricks received two layers of Mod Podge. Also, I added regular, white painted bamboo skewers to the square ones to make the frame larger.


With cover, unglued yet, just for demonstration.





The display on the shelves is already glued on. (looks ugly before covering.)






First, the bricks were glued to the sides.  You can see the cover being glued, held by clothespins.



While the glue was drying, I made egg carton "slates" for the roof.



The door, with a postbox and frame. The knob or handle is still to be done.



I hope to finish the project within the next few days.

Enjoy a beautiful Sunday with blessings!

  7. It's amazing how just an extra strip of wood can add so much interest to the window! Great idea! I love the tiny mail box on the door, too! The slate tiles will look lovely!

    The brick facade gives your sweet shop the look of longevity and is a nice solid foil for the window display! - Well Done!
