I just finished three sizes of the same pattern. Tiny Mini, Mini, and Original sizes. The smallest (Tiny Mini) is a pink winter house. The tiny snowman is almost too big! The orange Mini putz is made on a horizontal card. The yellow Original size is made on a verticial card base. A vertical card […]
When I started the hobby of making putz houses, I made only winter / Christmas houses. Eventually, I thought about making seasonal houses. I expanded into spring, summer and autumn, in addition to the winter putz. For spring, I make Valentine houses, Irish cottages for St. Patrick’s Day, Easter houses and churches, and spring flowering […]
Using the same pattern as the last house I made, I made this one in a MINI size. It is 5 1/2″ wide by 3 1/2″ deep. It is 4″ high, as measured from the bottom of the base to the top of the chimneys. The smaller sizes are fun to work with, though the […]
An autumn putz house is always fun to embellish. The base for this house, and the large steps to the front door, didn’t leave room for an autumn tree. I filled the yard with velvet and paper flowers, faux foliage and faux moss. The entire creation is sprinkled with fallen autumn leaves. The base is […]
I make putz houses in three sizes. TINY MINI is the smallest size. On average, they are about 2″ tall. This tiny-mini house is 2 1/2″ wide, 1 1/4″ deep and 2″ tall (not counting the base). In the picture on the left, it’s ready for landscaping, which is my favorite part of the process. […]
These two putz houses are made from the same pattern. The MINI size house on the left, is 3 7/8″ wide and 2 3/4″ tall. The ORIGINAL size on the right is 5″ wide and 4″ tall. The base features two cardinals on a snowy holly branch. The back of the house has a hole […]
This ORIGINAL size, winter putz house features two bottle brush trees decorated with faux snow, tiny snowflake sprinkles and clear glitter. It is listed in my Etsy shop. I like the simplified look of this one. The light colors, inspired by the colors of the Christmas card used to make the base, give it a […]
The last three putz I made were made from the same pattern, but in different sizes. In general, ORIGINAL size putz are 5″-6″ tall. MINI tend to be 3″-4″ tall. TINY MINI are most often 1″-2″ tall. Sizes will vary slightly depending on the pattern. Churches will be taller due to the steeple height, but […]
Pictures don’t do this little putz house justice. This is a bright and cheerful autumn house. The base is made from a beautiful autumn card. On the back of the putz, a tiny, flat, black cat is playing in the shrubbery. The fence is made of poster board, cut with decorative scissors. Puffs of smoke […]
