Christmas Notebook

The past week I have worked on replenishing some of my basic supplies needed for my Putz houses.

I made a lot of fence posts. So nice to have those on hand when I’m putting together a new Putz house. I like to put fences around all of them, sometimes with posts, sometimes without.

If you look closely, you can see the little wooden posts mixed among the ones I made. I gave them all a base coat of white paint so they are ready to go when I need them.

Here’s the link to my tutorial for making the fence posts.

I also made a lot of fencing. I figured out a way to keep the punched designs even. I’ll write a post about that soon.

Here’s a link to my tutorial for making fences for Putz houses.

I also made fifteen bases for new Putz houses. I’ll link the tutorial, but I need to write a new one as I do it a little differently now. Tomorrow I plan to paint and glitter the bases. The picture will be on the bottom so you get a little surprise if you lift the house.

Tutorial for making Putz bases

Here are two of three pink Putz houses I made for Valentine’s Day. I plan to use vintage Valentine post cards for the bases. Middle Daughter will pick up some holiday-related embellishments for me tomorrow. I hope to have these in my Etsy shop by the end of the week. ChristmasNotebook.etsy.com

I pulled some Christmas cards from my collection to use for shadow boxes. I’ll work on those soon.
