putz house sidewalks

There are many ways to make sidewalks for Putz houses. I’ll post some of my favorites here. I use foam-filled nail files as sanding sticks. When they are too worn and smooth to sand any longer, I use them to make steps and sidewalks. A single largish piece can be used to make a landing […]

original size purple church

This pattern is deeper than most of my Putz patterns. I wanted to have all three windows on the sides. I like the size and dimensions of this church. I think I’ll make more buildings like this. The base measures 4 1/2″ wide x 7″ deep. The church is 8″ tall as measured from the […]

a new Christmas tree shop

I made the base for this Putz a few months ago. I finally got around to making a pattern to mimic the shop pictured on the card. So cute! I love this card. So many nice details. The colors for the Putz are taken from the colors on the Christmas card. The sign was printed […]

making picket fences for putz houses

After making this Putz house, I decided to write a tutorial about how to make the picket fence. It’s not hard. Just takes a little time. But after you have made a few, it becomes easier and quicker. Supplies needed: popsicle sticks X-acto / craft knife scallop scissors zigzag scissors straight scissors posterboard or coffee […]

putz with a picket fence

I have made several MINI and TINY MINI Putz houses lately, so I went back to an ORIGINAL size this time. The base has a beautiful picket fence on it. I used colors from the Christmas card to paint the Putz house. The card on the base has a large wreath, so I added two […]

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 grey and red putz house

I just finished this tiny, pale grey Putz house. It sits at an angle to the side with a curved walk to the front door. The colors of the Putz are inspired by the Christmas card I used as the base. I picked up on the grey and red. The picture on the card shows […]

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% […]

white putz houses…one with pink, one with blue

I am having a hard time getting things done the past few days. The weekend was busy, we had a great time on Memorial Day with Older Son and his family, I thought Tuesday was Monday all day long, and here it is Wednesday afternoon and I am well behind where I thought I would […]

building a putz house

I am back to working on the little Putz houses I have planned for a Christmas display. I’m hoping this post will work as a sort of tutorial for walking you through making your own Putz house, if you are so inclined. The pattern I am using is from the Little Glitter Houses site. This […]
