Reindeer Stable – DIY Christmas Village Kit

Paint it. Glitter it. Make it yours.

Every Santa's village needs somewhere for the reindeer to rest. Picture a cosy little stable with snow capping the roof, two reindeer standing out the front beside their feed trough and water bowl, and antlers and Santa trimmings decorating the walls, ready for the big night. Now imagine you made it.

This DIY Christmas village kit has everything you need to bring it to life. The laser-cut wooden pieces slot together like a puzzle (no tools, no fiddly bits), then the fun starts: a dozen soft pastel paints, a drizzle of glue and four bags of glitter – crushed diamonds, iridescent white, gold holographic and silver holographic – for frosty rooftops and sparkling straw. Pour a cuppa, put on the Christmas playlist and lose an afternoon.

Make it your own and decorate it however you like – pastel and pretty, bold and bright or dripping in glitter. There's no wrong way to do it, and no two will ever turn out the same. Yours will be one of a kind.

It's the kind of thing you'll pull out of the decorations box every December and remember making – and the perfect neighbour for Santa's House, the Elf House and Santa's Toy Factory in a village that can grow a little bigger each year.

Questions people ask

Do I need any tools or extra supplies?
No. Paints, brushes, glue and glitter are all in the box. The pieces slot together with tabs – no cutting or sanding needed.

How long does it take to make?
Assembly takes around 30–45 minutes. Painting and decorating is up to you – most people spend a happy afternoon on it.

Is it suitable for kids?
Yes, from about age 8 with some help from a grown-up. Younger kids love doing the painting and glitter while an adult handles assembly.

Can I add lights?
Yes – the stable is hollow, so a small battery LED tea light or fairy light string fits inside to make it glow.

Do you ship Australia-wide?
Yes, we post from Brisbane to all of Australia via Australia Post.

Are there other houses in the collection?
Yes – the Reindeer Stable sits perfectly beside Santa's House, the Elf House and Santa's Toy Factory, with more Christmas village houses coming so you can add to your village each year.
