You know that the paper crafts I most love to make are Halloween Houses - miniature Halloween houses made from cardboard. But the other thing I love to do is share how to make these projects. So I wrote this book, 13 Handcrafted Halloween Houses - Craft a Howling Good Time. It's a digital book of 13 different Halloween house patterns with lots of variations and extra embellishments. The patterns are available 2 ways - as a printable form of PDF files and SVG files for electronic cutting machines.
I've also shared lots of techniques on my blog to help you decorate your Halloween houses:
- Distress techniques for Halloween crafts
- How make Crackle Siding for Papercrafts
- Wood Grain Texture
- Plaster Surface for Houses
- Twisted Tree Tutorial
- Easy Miniature Broom for Your Halloween Crafts
Now you have everything you need to know to make 13 different Halloween houses with all the information accessible in one place.
This digital book is over 100 pages with many photos to help you in your little house-making journey.

13 Handcrafted Halloween Houses - Craft a Howling Good Time
Drac's Coffin House is another fun Halloween house included in the book. I love the graveyard on top of the Coffin House.
But remember, the book is a digital download - NOT a physical product. It includes PDF instructions to make the 13 houses with different finish techniques in addition to 13 SVG patterns for these houses.
So if you are cutting your patterns by hand, use the PDF printable patterns.
And if you have an electronic cutting machine, you can upload these patterns to your machine software to make any and all of these patterns. But remember, you do not need an electronic cutting machine (like a Cricut or a Silhouette), it just makes it easier to cut out the cardboard houses.

So how do you purchase this incredible digital book?
Just go to my shop - shop.paperglitterglue.com to purchase the digital book. It is available on sale for 3 days, then the price will go up.
Why buy the digital book when so many patterns are free?
As you may know, I have many house patterns on the blog that are free, so why would you want to buy this book? Well, that is a very good question.
So the real reason you want to buy the book is because everything is in one place - all the instructions, tutorials, printable files are in one convenient location. Also there are so many different embellishments - windows, doors, pumpkins, leaves, shingle patterns, and fences. With all the different designs, you can make a delightful village.

Carol,
When you purchase a product from my store. The first thing that happens is that you go to a screen with a download button. Sometimes people miss this so immediately you are sent an email the email address you listed on the form when you purchase the file. Usually you get the email directly in your inbox. But sometimes your email provider sends the email to your spam folder or in gmail it is called the promotions folder. That is the next place to look. But if someone is having trouble finding the email, then I send them another. You should have your 13 Handcrafted Halloween Book by now. I do hope you enjoy it. Please let me know if you have any other problems. I want you to be happy.
