It was SO much easier b/c the house was already put together and we just did the fun part. They just don't include enough candy to decorate like we would have liked. We always have to add our own.<br />I really think your's looks very cute, if the roof would stay on. Very colorful and I like the coconut too.<br /><br />Kim OTKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04610883485480445154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602546488750242120.post-34321449358005279542010-12-21T08:57:06.342-07:002010-12-21T08:57:06.342-07:00Hi,

We use melted sugar. Melt some plain suger in a frying pan on low heat while you stir. It will take some time! Eventually it will turn all dark and liquid, dip the edges in the sugar liquid and stick them together, wait while they dry. This sugar mix dry very quickly but is very very very hot so a job for grown ups only. Have fun!!!<br />Merry Chrismas,<br />Lena - Mom to Miya from MaoNanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602546488750242120.post-91432823467793833582010-12-20T22:51:40.433-07:002010-12-20T22:51:40.433-07:00Costco sells pre-assembled houses which cuts out m...Costco sells pre-assembled houses which cuts out most of the frustration.

We have the same problem with our rooves every year, but my dad breaks out the power drill (seriously) and fiddles around with them until they're "structurally sound" -- it just kills me. I think it's my favorite part. Hee!<br /><br />Love your coconut snow -- beautiful.
