So tiny! So cute! And I do love snowing a winter house. This Tiny Mini size putz features evergreen trees, bottle brush trees, a tiny deer and a snowman.
The putz is made with pattern 091718, which is the same pattern as the last two houses I made. The Tiny Mini, periwinkle putz is 3″ tall. The orange Mini size is 3 3/4″ tall. The Original size, yellow one is 5″ tall.
I used a vertical card for the periwinkle house, leaving room behind the house for a row of trees. I set the fence back from the front of the base to make a walkway in front of the fence.
The Tiny Mini house is 2 3/4″ wide by 1″ deep. It is 2 3/4″ high. The base measures 4 3/8″ wide by 5 3/4″ deep. The putz is 3″ tall, as measured from the bottom of the base to the top of the tallest tree.
The Christmas card, used to make the base, features three children and their happy snowman. My tutorial for making bases from greeting cards can be found here: Putz bases from Christmas cards
On the back of the house, the traditional hole allows the use of an LED light for lighting the house.
The trees behind the house are made from upcycled Christmas tree stems. There are two bottle brush trees in the front yard. Green glitter and snow embellish the taller tree. Silver micro beads and snow decorate the smaller tree.
In front of the house, there is a tiny deer meeting the snowman.
The house comes with a puff of smoke for those cold winter nights. Come on in and we’ll have Christmas cookies and hot chocolate!
If you have any questions about my posted putz houses, or about creating your own putz houses, please ask. I am happy to share what I have learned about the art of putzing.
