Hansel and Gretel Candy House

First I want to say that I am a furniture repairman, not a doll house repairman.  Somehow they keep on arriving at my shop!

Caleb, (Helper Monkey), said no not again!

This one had several small parts broken off on the top, and some candy pieces missing on the sides.  I bought some real gum drops to replace missing ones.  I coated them with epoxy, and then I lightly sprayed a little color on it to emulate the color of the other gum drops.

This one was not as tedious as the other doll house.

Everything went very smoothly, except when I brought the extra gum drops inside right before dinner.  The 4 year old said over, and over again.  ” I want a gum drop! I want a gum drop!”  The 2 year old heard her, and started to join in the chant. I decided just to toss them so they would not ruin dinner, or teeth for that matter.

I had to take extra care when I delivered the candy house.  I did not want any more gum drops breaking off.
