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 made from a beautiful greeting card. The yellow, blue and dark coral colors of the card inspired the colors of the house. The back has the traditional hole for lighting this little house with an LED light string. Note the tiny black cat chasing leaves in the back yard.
The fence is made from poster board cut with decorative scissors. Five steps lead to the front door.
Fallen leaves are spinkled on the roof and along the sidewalk. I always enjoy the landscaping of an autumn hosue.. The colors, the leaves and the flowers make a beautiful yard.
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.
