How to create enchanting wooden houses of light - step-by-step instructions

Step 1: Preparing the parts

Before you start painting, make sure that all the parts of the pegboard motif are clean and dry. This preparation will ensure that the colours adhere well and that the end result looks professional. You should also make sure that you use a suitable base to protect your work area from paint residue.

Step 2: Creative painting

Now the creative part begins: take the VBS craft paints and start painting the individual parts as you wish. Think about a colour scheme that matches your interior design style or go for bold contrasts for a lively look. Make sure you allow the colours to dry thoroughly before moving on to the next step. This prevents smudging and ensures clean edges.

Step 3: Gluing the elements together

Once the colours have dried, you can glue the individual parts together. Use the VBS handicraft glue specially developed for such projects. Apply a thin layer of glue to the connection points and carefully join the parts together. Hold the parts in position for a moment to ensure that the glue adheres well. Precision is required here to achieve a perfect result.

Step 4: Add your light

To give your house of lights the finishing touch, add a small LED light. This will give your work of art a warm glow and create an enchanting atmosphere.

Step 5: Presentation and enjoyment

Now your artwork is ready! Find a nice spot in your home to display your house of lights. Enjoy the soft glow and let yourself be flooded with a touch of cosiness. Or give your house of lights as a gift to a loved one and spread joy and light.
