This mini haunted house would be a cute addition to anyone's Halloween decor. It is made from just one 12"x12" piece of 3mm plywood and cut out on our x-Tool diode laser.
We started with a simple house cut plan that we downloaded from another Etsy shop owner. Then we added our own Halloweeny elements in LightBurn, swapping out a moon and a cat for windows and adding some bats as well. We also added a "Happy Halloween" message to the roof along with some magical stars.
All in all, it was a fun, quick Halloween luminary. We decided to stick with the natural wood, but you could certainly paint it if you wanted to. We will probably make more and paint those!
The only kind of hard part about building this house was supergluing the pieces together. Having two people gluing would solve that problem, and result in less sticky fingers.
The base and roof were not attached to the house walls to make it easier to put a candle inside. We used a real candle, but it was quickly evident that an LED candle would have been a much better idea. Fire + wood = Halloween hazard.
It looked so good and spooky in the dark. Can't wait to make another one. Maybe we will change the shapes and put a "BOO!" on the roof this time. There are so many fun possibilities.
