Dicken's Village The Church
Materials List, Details & Where to Find Supplies
Graphite Paper (optonal)
This is completely optional - If you would prefer to trace the pattern directly onto the cardboard, the graphite paper enables you to do this.
You can also just cut out the pattern pieces and trace around them onto the cardboard and transfer markings in a conventional manner.
If you are interested in graphite paper, you can purchase it here for Canada, and here for the USA and I'm sure in other countries you can find it as well!
Wool Blend or Pure Wool Felt
I retail premium quality wool-blend felt, you may consider working with a curated colour bundle, or create your own!
The quantities and colours you will need if you use the same colour scheme as I did are listed below and also available as a Book Shoppe Felt bundle:
Smokey Marble 12x18" sheet x 2
DMC Embroidery floss
DMC Embroidery Floss is widely available online, and in craft stores. Your colours will vary depending on what felt colour scheme you work with.
If you are following along with the same colours as I did, the DMC Floss colours are listed below and also available as a DMC Floss Bundle:
DMC 930
DMC 27
DMC 154
DMC 3750
DMC 415
Diamant 301 Metallic Floss
Four LED Light Strand
You can build your own, or purchase pre-wired light assemblies here.
I cannot ship the lights to the USA at this time, however for my USA based crafters, here is the link to my detailed shopping list and video tutorial on how to make your own.
Electrical Tape
Any generic electrical tape will work here, you can purchase it online or at your local hardware store.
Artificial Snow (optional)
I have luck finding this every year at the local dollar store once it hits November and the Christmas decor is out.
A little artificial snow can help hide any mistakes you may have made along the way on the building, and just adds another wintery element to the shoppe!
To find something out of season, I recommend just doing a google search on artificial snow, or just use craft stuffing.

In addition to the supplies listed, you will need basic tools such as:
a craft knife
