With other things that needed to be done, I wasn’t able to finish the Easter church until yesterday.
The Putz measures 6 1/2″ wide by 4 1/2″ deep. The Putz is 8″ tall as measured from the bottom of the base to the top of the steeple. The base is made from an upcycled, Easter greeting card. It features two spring lambs and the verse from Psalm 20:17.
A hole in the back allows the use of a small LED light string for lighting this and other glitter houses in your glitter house village. A gold, metal bell hangs freely in the bell tower.
The budding tree is made from pip stems. The fence is made from poster board, cut with scalloped scissors. The fence posts are made from a 1/4″ square wooden rod. I cut the wooden rod to length with wire cutters.
Mulberry paper flowers and velvet forget-me-nots embellish the church yard. A tiny bird’s nest can be found in the budding tree.
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.
To see more of my putz houses, as well as Christmas ornaments I have made from upcycled holiday cards, please visit my Etsy shop.
Want to try making your own putz houses? Check out my putz tutorials for more information. My blog can be searched, as well. Some of the turorials haven’t been listed on the tutorial page. Working on that!
