Faux Window

Just a quick one here for the Hanson Village Shops . . .

Some of you might want windows on the sides of your shops but don’t want to cut holes for see-through windows.  Here’s a way you can create the look of a window without any further cutting!

• Print and cut out a window from the printable ones from a shop kit.  Don’t cut the white areas out from inside the window frame.
• Attach window to chipboard and cut away the excess chipboard.  Distress the chipboard edges.
• Cut a square of chipboard a tad, just a hair, smaller than the window then cut it in half, creating two shutters.
• Paint the shutters and attach them on top of the window as if they were closed.
• Add tiny handles if you like.
• You can make fancier shutters if you want using the “cutting a groove” method shown in the Tea Shop tutorial.

Have FUN!
