This is the second edition of the pattern 071924. The first one is the blue winter house. The autumn house features fall leaves, sunflowers and four pumpkins. The putz is 6 1/4″ wide by 4 1/2″ and 5 3/4″ tall, as measured from the bottom of the base to the top of the chimney.
The base is made from an upcycled greeting card picturing pumpkins. A hole in the back allows the use of a small LED light string for lighting this and other glitter houses in your glitter house village.
The yard is encircled with a poster board fence. Flowers and autumn shrubs fill the yard. I had planned to put an autumn tree in the front yard, but didn’t have room for it.
The details include sunflowers and handcrafted pumpkins. On the back of the house is a tiny black cat.
I love the tiny leaf litter. It sets off the autumn theme so well.
