This is the last Haunted Holtzville house for this year – Tiny Halloween House in a Jar.
I made a quick little tiny house that would fit in a small mason jar and embellished it with some grey paint mixed with sand to look like stucco. The windows are from the Village Cottage die. The door is leftover from the Metallic Village Manor house – it’s the inner door that I cut out because it’s not needed. The roof shingles are offcuts from the one of the Village Rooftop dies. And then I added a tree made from a section of the Sizzix branch tree and the new Sizzix Moonlit Owl die from Tim Holtz. I had to kind of curl the tree branches a little bit so they would fit in the jar. I made the same chimney pipe as on the Metallic Village Manor because it was easy and didn’t obstruct putting the house in the jar.

I just love this roof pattern. Save the offcuts if you use the Village Rooftop die because you can make great shingles with them as well. |

Truly fabulous Lucy, I can't think of a better way to recycle a jar! The walls look fantastic, I love the door – for some reason it reminds me of Game of Thrones! The roof is superb and the little chimney is just fabulous! A brilliant recycling project!!
