Wooden Winter Swedish Cottage

This countryside of Sweden is charming with all of its cute and quaint red houses. Create your own look of Scandinavia by sawing out and painting this project. Because the windows are sawed out, you can place a tea light or two on the base behind the house and the light will shine through the windows. This project makes a lovely gift idea and can also be used during the winter after the holidays are over.
