schoolhouse putz

I finished this schoolhouse this weekend. It’s listed in my Etsy shop. The card I used for the base features a little school building and snowy day activities. When one of my Putz houses is tilted, the card is a little surprise on the bottom. I try to coordinate the colors on the card and […]

tiny mini covered bridge

This Putz of a tiny house and covered bridge went to a good home right after I made it. I may have to make one for myself because I loved it so much. The Christmas card, which I used to make the base, inspired the layout of the Putz. I had a pattern for a […]

It’s easy, it’s cheap, and they can be […]

after some blog difficulties, i’m back with new putz houses

I think the blog problems have been ironed out. I had troubles in December, and again the past few months. In the mean time, I have made a lot of new Putz houses. Here are a few of them. I draft all my own patterns. Lately, I’ve been making three sizes. ORIGINAL, which is 100% […]
