I made this Putz house to feature the picket fence. The tutorial for making this fence is here: Making picket fences for Putz houses
The base measures 6 1/4″ wide x 4″ deep. The Putz is 4 3/4″ tall as measured from the bottom of the base to the top of the chimneys.
The base is made from an upcycled Christmas card.
The colors on the card inspired the colors of the Putz.
A hole in the back allows the use of a small LED light string for lighting the little glitter house.
A handcrafted wreath hangs over the front door. Icicles hang on the left and right sides of the roof.
Two puffs of smoke are included for the chimneys.
The bottle brush trees are painted the same green as the roof, then glittered with fine, dark green glitter. When the paint is dry, I dabbed them with faux snow and sprinkled them with iridescent glitter flakes.
You can see my Putz houses and other Christmas ornaments 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!
