This winter putz house features two bare winter trees, outlined with snow. I make the trees from model tree armatures. The base is made from an upcycled greeting card. It measures 6 1/2″ wide by 4 1/2″ deep. The putz is 5 1/8″ tall as measured from the bottom of the base to the top of the chimneys. The back of the putz has a hole that allows the use of a small LED light string to illuminate the house.
This house went together quickly. I haven’t used bare trees for a while, so I decided to put two in this yard.
The top view shows the entire yard. Craft stuffing serves as puffs of smoke.
This house has a handcrafted picket fence. I made the fence from slivered popsicle sticks.
If you have any questions about my posted putz houses, or about creating your own putz houses, please ask. I am happy to share what I have learned about the art of putzing.
