Overall cost: $$. Lumber varies by region, species, and season, so we give a band rather than a figure.
Make sure you get a nice, straight board, without many knots. Trace the included templates onto the board, or draw them yourself. You’ll also need 1- 6” board as a base for each Christmas house. The plans call for 6 houses and 6 bases per board.
Drill pocket holes in the 6” bases. Sand, then stain or paint all of your pieces.
Use 1 ¼” pocket hole screws and wood glue to attach your 6” base pieces to the backside of your house.
Drive a cute screw or nail into your pilot hole. This is what you will hang your stocking on. I used a 2” horseshoe nail.
Place on your mantle. You can add tea light candles or a strand of twinkle lights behind the houses, so the light glows through your windows. I recommend using battery operated lights, just in case one gets knocked over.
