Yesterday I decorated another Putz house. I had four waiting for embellishments, so picked the first one in the line. I like to cut the wooden base off the bottle brush trees. Personal preference. I also thought the larger tree was too tall for the house, so I cut almost an inch off the bottom. You need wire cutters for that job.
I twisted some shredded iridescent packing material into the trees. Makes a pretty little sparkle as the light hits the trees. After I had it where I wanted it, I dabbed a little glue here and there to tack it down. Helps to keep it in place.
The bottle brush trees were decorated with some blue, green, and ivory beads. Two blue star beads made perfect tree toppers. The trees were glued to the base at either side of the house. Some artificial foliage filled in the back of the house.
A couple of pieces of blue snowflake “foliage” added some color to the back drop.
The front of the house seemed to be asking for a bit more. I added a few shorter bits of foliage and then used the hot glue gun to put down some stepping stones.
The stepping stones were painted white and then glittered. Done!
