Candy shop's front

Hello dear readers,

Not much has been done this past week.  Everyday issues caught up with me.  Here are a few pictures of the shop's front.  Nothing glued fix yet, just to show you how it's done.  As I told you at the beginning of this project, it is also a sort of tutorial with a few tips.


Painted bricks on cardboard with an opening for the display window.



Front and sides.








Made and painted a frame for the window. I used square bamboo kebab screws.  Look out for them, they are cheap but very fine and easy to work with.



How it looks without the frame.





I like it better framed.




4mm square beside regular bamboo screws.





This will be the door, not finished and not glued.  I just show it here for you to see the color.




I chose not to decorate this project with my ceramic "stones".  I just want to show different ways of facades anyone will be able to make from easily available craft material.

Tomorrow is our New Year's Eve.  Monday and Tuesday are our celebrating our New Year Holidays.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to readers who celebrate with me!

I wish you a lovely Sunday with blessings.

    Have a wonderful New Year! And I love the window with the frame. And the door color is gorgeous. We all have weeks like that, when it feels like we're getting nothing mini done.

    I had some trouble posting a comment. Do you receive comments posted on Blog loving? Anyway, I love where you are taking this project. The window frame makes all the difference.
    Hugs,

    Hooray… now it worked… okay... one more try: Happy New Year to you and yours! Best wishes for the new year and may there be more good than not so good moments. It was once more fun to follow your well explained and shown progress, this is a wonderful project. I really like the facade and the door's color. The windows look for sure better with the frame and I'm looking forward to see more of this fantastic project next year! ;O)

    Hugs

    Hello Drora,
    The façade is coming along nicely. I like the brickwork and I agree that the frame around the display is better. Happy New year.
    Big hug
