The Easter card used to make the base inspired the colors of the putz house. As soon as I saw this beautiful card, I knew I would make an Easter house with it. My thanks to the friend who donated the card to me! I appreciate donations!
The base measures 4 7/8″ wide by 7 3/4″ deep. The hole in the back allows the use of an LED light string to illuminate the house.
If your Easter is chilly, pop in the smoke puffs to warm it up. We hope, thought, that it’s warm enough for the egg hunt in the front yard. I made the tree from paper-covered wire. The green “leaves” are made from faux moss and the yellow buds are made from tiny styrofoam balls.
I made the 1/4″ nest from paper-covered wire, tucked a bit of faux moss inside and used three faux, candy sprinkles as the eggs. At the top of the tree, you will find a tiny butterfly.
From above, you can see the path that leads to the front door. I set the putz house on the windowsill and snapped a picture with the last of the daffodils.
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.
