My latest house is this little green and brown one.
The “picket” fence is made with corrugated cardboard. The fence posts at the front gate are made from wooden dowels, cut to size and painted. Picket fence tutorial
I like to add the traditional hole in the back of the Putz house for the use of a small LED light string to light the houses.
The front yard seemed to need something in the space by the larger tree, so I added a tiny deer.

This may be the second Putz base that I used this Christmas card for. It looks familiar. I must have liked it a lot to use it twice. It’s always fun to lift the Putz and find a little surprise on the bottom of the base. Christmas cards are perfect for that!
I love to see the Putz house with the lights on. Always looks so cozy and nostalgic.

I am always happy to answer questions about the process. Please ask, if you are wondering about the details of putzing!
