DIY Corrugated Cardboard Christmas Villages

Years ago, I was looking for a way to decorate my Christmas without spending too much money... if you are like me, you have plenty of discarded cardboard boxes laying around. And with a utility craft knife, and some paint you can make these charming rustic Christmas Villages, too. I prefer distressed over a clean look, and peeling off the top layer seems like a great way to take the corrugated cardboard decorations to another level.

If you like these I encourage you to also watch my Rustic Corrugated Cardboard Christmas Ornaments video...    • DIY Corrugated Cardboard Christmas Or...

Supplies:
Discarded double corrugated cardboard boxes, Kraft paper or other cardstock, sketch paper and scissors (optional), utility knife, pencil, ruler, cutting mat, PVA glue, small brush and white paint (I am using Annie Sloan Old White Chalk Paint), some metallic paint or wax for accents (I am using Gold Rustoleum furniture paint) and tweezers help :).
