This little church is a pretty simple design.
It does have a bell in the bell tower which takes it up a step from the simplest designs.
The blue is Apple Barrel 21142 Cobalt lightened with white. The yellow is Apple Barrel 21474E Yellow Flame, lightened with white.
The fence was cut with a large-scallop scissor and then the tear-drops were punched. Pictures showing the process are at the end of this post.
The back…
The base has “O Holy Night” in silver foil.
The steps are made from poster board cut in a width and length to fit the area to cover. I paint it whole, then, when it’s dry, I cut it into stepping stone shapes. Once it’s glued down, I embellish around the steps with Aleene’s True Snow, sprinkled while still wet with glitter.
Lights make the Putz building come alive for me.
Following is how I make the fence used on the Putz church above. I use a large-scallop scissor and a tear-drop punch. I cut poster board in strips, one inch wide.
With a pencil, I mark a line down the middle of the strip to use as a guide when cutting the fence.
The two halves make two different kinds of fences…pointy and rounded.
Punching the tear-drops…
With large-size scissors, you will get fences with a large design. Here’s a Putz house with the fence piece with the points.
And this house has the part of the fence with the rounded design.
