The creation of miniature, often illuminated, decorative houses forms a traditional craft activity. These small structures, frequently crafted from cardboard or wood and embellished with glitter and other festive elements, serve as holiday decorations. Examples include detailed winter scenes, simplified building facades, or whimsical fantasy dwellings.
Engaging in this craft fosters creativity and fine motor skills. The resulting decorative pieces add a personal touch to holiday displays, contributing to a festive atmosphere. Historically, this practice represents a continuation of folk art traditions, providing tangible connections to past celebrations and crafting techniques.
