I’ve been decluttering the craft room the past few months. As I did, I came across this putz house. The base was made, the house was constructed, but nothing else had been done. I finished it this week and listed it to my Etsy shop.
The festive house comes with its own fireworks. Plastic tubes mounted on the back make the fireworks easy to remove for storage. A small LED light string gives the house a kbeautiful glow. I recommend warm white lights. For several houses, or more, a longer light string may be used. Remote control lights work well for a putz village.
The house features a USA flad, a wreath over the door and a vine growing over the roof.
The wreath is decorated with red, foil stars.
The fence is made from corrugated cardboard.
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. Run by native Kenyans, KMM works with the urban poor of Nairobi, Kenya, particularly the children and their families who live in Kibera, the largest urban slum in Africa. Thank you for your purchase from my shop and the help it provides for the children of Kibera.
If you have questions 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.
If you would like to create your own putz houses, check out my putz tutorials for more information. My blog is searchable, as well. You may find turorials that aren’t listed on the tutorial page.
