This Putz barn was made months ago, but I hadn’t found a Christmas card that I liked for the base until a few weeks ago.
The words, the harness bells and the trail of stars are picked out in a shiny gold foil.
Santa is checking on the reindeer!
A tiny deer stands in the front yard, near a hanging lantern.
As always, the lights add a new dimension to the Putz.
Yesterday, I cut and constructed this Putz house, painted the pieces, glittered everything and then set it aside to dry overnight.
Today, I completed it with a fence, faux snow, a bottle brush tree, and a snowman.
The colors of the Putz are dictated by the colors on the Christmas card that I used as a base.
Using a greeting card to make the base is my trademark. I love the surprise it provides.
This sweet little house is listed in my Etsy shop.

I am always happy to answer questions about the process. Please ask, if you are wondering about the details of putzing!
