This barn is made with the same pattern as the brown and blue barn. It is 20% larger, though, and I left off the lean-to on the right side. I also made the loft door into a window on this barn.
The round window over the doors is covered with a bead cap that I carefully flattened and glued over the hole.
Most of my Putz barns have a barn on the card used as a base, and I use that barn as the inspiration for the pattern I draw for the Putz barn. If I want to use the pattern again, I try to find a Christmas card that is also about barns. Barn Christmas cards are few and far between. This is a cute one. Not a barn picture, but a picture about a barn.
The roof is made from corrugated cardboard to simulate a ridged metal roof.
I ran out of tiny horses and didn’t want to put a cow in this barnyard because there is a cow in the first barn from this pattern, so I let Mistletoe in the barnyard. She’s just visiting.
The board and post fence is made from heavy-weight poster board and wooden skewers. You will find the tutorial here: Make a Board Fence for Your Putz Barn
The bottle brush trees are decorated with blue and silver vintage mercury beads. You can check out my tutorial for decorating bottle brush trees with beads here: Decorating Bottle Brush Trees
