Today, I listed three Putz houses and a church to my Etsy shop. ChistmasNotebook.etsy.com
The church is a tall steepled building with a pretty bell tower.
I like to use nativity pictures from Christmas cards on the bases of my Putz churches. This one features the shepherds.
I love the blue color on this church. It’s Apple Barrel “Cobalt Blue.”
This green and grey two-story house with a wrap-around porch was a new challenge for me. I drew the pattern, made a paper mockup, made a few revisions, then constructed the house.
The colors are inspired by the Christmas card on the base.
The porch roof took a little fiddling to get it just right. It came out well, though. I like this house so much that I thought about keeping it for my own collection, but finally decided to list it to Etsy.
The fence is made from corrugated cardboard.
I drew the pattern for this sweet little house last week and was very happy with the way it turned out.
A little bit of polyester fluff makes a great puff of smoke for the chimney.
This little dark grey and blue house is one made from a pattern I drew in 2012.
I love the simple Putz designs.
This tiny deer was just the right size for the little Putz house. I spread glue over the deer and then dipped him in clear very fine glitter. It doesn’t cover the color, but gives him some sparkle.
The windows are framed in forest green.
I’m working on some Bethlehem Putz houses, using nativity Christmas cards for the bases. I hope to share some of those soon. Right now, I’m trying to decide if I want to put snow on them or not…
