This MINI size spring house is from the same pattern as the winter house I made last week. I scalloped the front of the roof on the spring house and added divided window panes rather than the larger ones used in the winter house.
The base of the spring house measures 6 1/2″ wide by 4 1/2″ deep. It is 4 1/2″ high as measured from the bottom of the base to the top of the pip tree.
The house sits on the base at an angle. It features paper and velvet flowers, a budding pip tree, and a tiny robin’s nest in the valley between the two roofs on the front of the house. The sidewalk curves from the front door to the opening in the fence.
The base is a beautiful spring-themed greeting card featuring a Carolina wren and her brood. A hole in the back of the little glitter house allows the use of a small LED light string to light this and other houses in your putz village.
The yard is enclosed with a poster board fence cut with decorative scissors.
I made the bird nest from paper-wrapped wire. The eggs are faux cookie sprinkles. The nest is 1/4″ wide
Made in shades of purple, green and yellow, this little house greets spring with an abundance of flowers.
