Once the paint is dry, apply a thin layer of Mod Podge® with a paintbrush. While the Mod Podge® is still wet, shake on a layer of silver glitter. Shake off the excess glitter onto a piece scrap paper.

Adhere fluffy, white polyfill to the bottom of the houses by applying a line of glue to the bottom edge of the paper house. Stick the house on top of the polyfil and allow time for the glue to set. Embellish the snow with iridescent glitter, craft snow and white yarn pompoms. Use the attached metallic chenille stems to wire the houses onto the wreath, adding glue if necessary.
