This house, in ivory and dark teal, uses a beautiful Santa card as the base. One of my favorite cards, its rich design and gold foil accents makes it special.


Beads as ornaments trim the bottle brush trees, and each tree is topped with a red star. Faux snow and clear glitter accent the trees.


Someone has just shoveled the front walk. They’re ready for company. My putz houses always have the front door open so guests know they are welcome any time.


The traditional hole in the back allows the use of an LED light string. The golden light brings the house to life.



To see this putz, as well as more of my putz houses and Christmas ornaments I have made from upcycled holiday cards, please visit my Etsy shop.
All proceeds from my Etsy shop benefit Kenya Mercy Ministries.

Thank you for your purchase from my shop and the help it provides for the children of Kibera.
If you have questions about 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.
