Materials Needed
- One metal house decor from Dollar Tree (previously painted is perfectly fine!)
- One decorative napkin for decoupage (I used one with a Christmas wreath design)
- Mod Podge
- Scissors
- Paintbrush
- Holiday/Christmas faux foliage
- Optional: Epsom salt or faux snow
- Optional: Gold glitter glue
Prep Your Napkin and Add it to the Metal House
Choose a napkin with a festive design—wreaths, holly, or winter florals work beautifully. Cut out the design portion, including the center if needed. Carefully separate the top printed layer from the backing.
Using a paintbrush, apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the area of the metal house where you want to place the napkin. Gently press the napkin onto the Mod Podge, smoothing it out with your fingers or a paintbrush.
Brush a thin layer of Mod Podge over the napkin to seal it. Let it dry naturally or use a heat tool to speed up the process.
Create a Snowy Scene
To finish, dab a bit of Mod Podge between the foliage and sprinkle Epsom salt or faux snow over it. This creates a cozy, snow-dusted effect that feels straight out of a winter village.

Final Touches
And just like that, your metal house has a brand-new seasonal look! This project is a wonderful reminder that older decor can be refreshed with just a few simple materials and a little creativity. Whether you place it on a shelf, tuck it into a centerpiece, or gift it to a friend, this upcycled piece is sure to spread holiday cheer.
