Transform plain wooden craft houses into a custom Halloween village using spray paint and detail brushes. Choose a cohesive color palette, work on one house at a time, and don't worry about mistakes—sand and repaint to perfection. This DIY project lets you get creative and build a festive display.

You'll need

Directions

  1. Apply a base coat of spray paint to your wooden houses, using Halloween colors like green, purple, white, or black.
  2. Work on one house at a time, spreading the project over a few days. Fine detail brushes make it easier to add intricate designs.
  3. Limit each building to just two or three colors, and keep the overall palette consistent across the village for a cohesive look.
  4. Let your imagination run wild! If you make a mistake, simply sand off the paint and start over—you can always fix and touch up as you go.
