Those are nice, what did you make them from?

Those are great, love the dusty look to the occupants. A quick "how to" would be appreciated.

It was made from two popsicle sticks and some starbucks stirring stick wood.  the popsicle sticks are scored to made it look like planks and used for the side and bottom.  The starbuck sticks are thinner and used for the top. I smash them and beat them up a little. Assemble into a rectangle, paint and you re don't. In 15 mins you can have a couple build and painted.  For the figure inside I just pushed a regular metal figure in some clay to make a mould, and then fill it with some casting cement.  Let dry and you have a figure. It's not perfect but you only see a little bit of it.
