This pale orange and dark coral, autumn church is listed in my Etsy shop. It features a handcrafted wooden, picket fence, handcrafted pumpkins and a handcrafted autumn tree.
The base measures 4 7/8″ wide by 7 3/4″ deep. The Putz is 7 3/4″ tall as measured from the bottom of the base to the top of the steeple.
The base is made from an upcycled greeting card featuring the words “Wishing you JOY at Thanksgiving” and a short verse. The word “JOY” is highlighted with copper foil. The traditional 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.
I handcrafted the wooden picket fence from coffee stir sticks. Handcrafted fences can be made in many different patterns. The autumn tree is made with a tree armature, artificial foliage, and tiny leaf litter.
The churchyard has autumn shrubs made from sponge flock, five pumpkins, and tiny leaf litter.
My Putz houses are constructed of white poster board, from patterns I draw myself. Currently, I don’t sell patterns. I cut each piece by hand. No diecuts are used in the creation of my Putz houses. The base is made from an upcycled greeting card. Landscaping the yard, after the building and fence are glued to the base, is one of my favorite parts of creating these little Putz buildings.
