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. On the right, the putz is completed.
The base is made from a cute, vintage Christmas greeting card. The base is 3 3/8″ wide and 4 3/4″ tall, as shown in the picture. The putz house has a hole in the back to allow the use of an LED light string for lighting this and other putz houses in your little glitter village.
The colors of the Christmas card inspired the colors of the putz house.
The yard is enclosed with a poster board fence, complete with six fence posts.
There are three bottle brush trees in the yard. They are embellished with faux snow, silver micro beads and clear glitter. The front of the house and the front corners of the fence are decorated with red berries.
A puff of smoke is included, in case your holiday evenings are chilly. The smoke is tucked into the chimney and can be easily removed if not needed
The tiny-mini putz house fits in the palm of my hand.
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.
