I’ve made quite a few Putz houses since I last posted.
This pattern was drawn with inspiration from a local house. There used to be two of the little brick duplexes, but one has been demolished. I adapted it to one front door.
The tiny deer is the perfect addition to the front yard.
I usually have to scrape the eye paint off the deer and reapply it. Then I coat the deer with white glue and sprinkle it with fine clear glitter.
This is the Christmas card I used as the base for the little green house.
When the house is tilted up, it shows the surprise underneath. Each of my Putz houses, barns and churches has a greeting card as the base.
A Christmas Putz barn. The cow’s name is Jingles.
The roof is made from corrugated cardboard to suggest a ridged metal roof.
The picture on the card was the inspiration for the pattern for this barn.
And the surprise on the bottom:
I drew the pattern for these houses last week. I made the red and green one first and then reduced the pattern to 80% and made the yellow and blue one.
A very tradtional Christmas card. Looks so homey and peaceful.
The door’s open. Come on in!
This is the smaller house.
The bottle brush trees are decorated with glass beads and tiny yellow stars.
I hope you’ve enjoyed these new houses. I have a few more Putz to post and will do that tomorrow.

Love the barn. You should make more. Where did you find the cutest cow? Very nice. I like the light green and blue house. I like the steep pitch on the roof.
