The little green house with the brown roof is coming right along. Here is where we left it. I’m planning to add a wreath over the door and a picket fence around the house. It’s hard to wait until the paint is totally dry when I’m putting up a new fence. And I was eager […]
I used the Putz house on the front page of cardboardputzhouses.com as my inspiration for a new Putz pattern. The one I made isn’t as elaborate as the one pictured. I may go back and add the porch and the first story roof to the pattern at some point. It certainly adds a lot of […]
This cute little Putz house came together pretty fast. I found a very pretty Christmas card in tones of gold, yellow and brown. I decided to make a Putz house to match. The pattern is one I made from a picture of a vintage Putz house several years ago. I like the rounded roof line. […]
I worked on the little gray church on Friday. I chose some fencing from my stockpile. Then cut it to fit the base. Paint and glitter… And assembly… The church is glued down and snow has been put around the bottom of it. Not much room for embellishments. I think I will add two small […]
This is it. My happy place. Just looking at the picture makes me happy. I haven’t felt very well the past few days, so I settled into the craft room and watched a lot of TV. And worked on a little gray Putz church. For me, that’s relaxing. The first order of business? Cut out […]
I am still tweaking the Putz “Christmas Tree Lot” that I’ve been working on the past few days, but it is almost done. In my last post, I explained how I made the base for the Christmas Tree Lot. It had to be larger than those I usually make to have room for the trees, […]
This past Friday, I made the base for my new Putz / little glitter house, the Christmas Tree Lot. This is the bottom of the base. I like to add a Christmas card surprise on the bottom. Because I want to add trees and a sign and wreaths and roping, etc., the base needed to […]
I wanted to add a Christmas Tree Lot to my collection of Putz patterns so I drew up a pattern for the sales shack. This is as far as I got with the project today. I will make a base for it tomorrow and, once I have it glued to a base, I can start […]
I’ve been emailing back and forth with an online friend who is making her own little glitter houses. She is having a problem with glitter loss after the houses are done. My friend did some experimenting with different kinds of glues and glitter, but hasn’t found a solution yet. I decided to do a glitter […]
I finished a few more spool ornaments. I plan to take proper pictures and post the ornaments to Etsy today. How do you feel about snow like the red one has? Yes, please? Or, no, I like them better without? The bead stars I used on my previous spool ornaments were blue like on the […]
