You'll need
Directions
- Apply a base coat of spray paint to your wooden houses, using Halloween colors like green, purple, white, or black.
- Work on one house at a time, spreading the project over a few days. Fine detail brushes make it easier to add intricate designs.
- Limit each building to just two or three colors, and keep the overall palette consistent across the village for a cohesive look.
- 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.
