Sparkling fireworks highlight this Fourth of July putz house. Sit back and enjoy the celebration! I handcrafted the picket fence from coffee stir sticks. The fireworks fit into plastic tubes on the back of the house. When the season is over, remove the fireworks and store them with the house for next year’s celebration. The […]
I had planned to make a summer church, but, while looking for a card to use for the base, I found this pretty spring card and decided to make a spring church with it. Poster board, cut with decorative scissors, make the churchyard fence. The fence posts are made from 1/8″ square, wooden rods. I […]

The Easter card used to make the base inspired the colors of the putz house. As soon as I saw this beautiful card, I knew I would make an Easter house with it. My thanks to the friend who donated the card to me! I appreciate donations! The base measures 4 7/8″ wide by 7 […]
