1. Spray the wood in the color you want for this project. Here we sprayed the wood Black. 
2. Cut out all the parts.  The houses in black wood, the windows and doors in cherry wood.

The purple layer is a score line so you can see where the small parts should be glued.

1. Glue the cherry wood parts (windows, doors and lights) on the house
2. Glue the intermediate layer of the stand to the base layer.
3. Glue the top layer of the stand to the intermediate layer.
4. Click the houses and lamppost onto the stand. You can put glue in the slots to make the houses and lamppost sturdy. 
5. Glue the circles behind each house, so that the tea lights can easily be placed behind the houses.
