🏡✨ Barb Antol just put the finishing touches on her McGregor’s House — and it turned out beautifully!

Barb shared:

“Such fun. I’m so glad I was able to attend this class — thanks again, Shaun!”

Right now, the finished house lives on the shelf above her TV, where the light catches the windows just right. 🌞🪟
And best of all? She can admire her hard work every day from the comfort of her couch. ☺️

We love seeing Create projects come to life — thanks for sharing this one with us, Barb!

🔥 First of the Month Tuesday Tip: Tame the Glue Gun!
Say goodbye to glue gun mess:

Store glue sticks in the freezer to reduce stringiness.

Use a hairdryer to melt away pesky glue strands after crafting.
Clean and easy for flawless miniatures!
