A sweet autumn house, with a yard bursting with flowers and littered with fallen leaves.
A beautiful card makes the perfect base for the autumn / Thanksgiving house. The back of the house is fitted with the traditional hole for the use of an LED light string to brighten the house after the sun goes down.
The picket fence was handcrafted from wooden, coffee stir sticks. These fences can be made in many different designs. This one has double pickets.
I made the pumpkins from Fimo clay, then painted them in various hues of orange, white, green and yellow.
The house is supplied with puffs of smoke, in case the autumn evenings are chilly. In the back, a tiny black cat can be found, playing with the fallen leaves.
If you have any questions about creating putz houses, please ask. I am happy to share what I have learned about the art of putzing.
