finishing the blue and green putz house
March 30, 2016 – 8:48 pm
Today, I continued work on the five Putz houses I have on my desk currently. Last night I left off with three houses and their fences glued to their bases. Today, I glued down the other two houses and their fences. I promised to paint at least one fence a different color than white. Here […]
making fences for putz houses
March 29, 2016 – 10:14 pm
Today I made fences for some of the Putz houses. You can read the tutorial here: making fences for putz houses I start with 1/2″ strips of cardboard and use punches or scissors to give them some decoration. oration. I used some of the fence posts I made yesterday. The little yellow house got a […]
bases for more Putz houses
March 28, 2016 – 11:37 pm
I worked on bases for Putz houses on Monday. Took most of the day to finish five. It always takes longer than I remember! All five are completed. Construction, base coat of paint, two coats of sandy paint, and a dip in the fine glitter. It’s hard to tell from the pictures that they’ve been […]
green ski-slope putz house, finished
March 23, 2016 – 8:22 pm
In my last post, the little green Putz house was ready to be attached to the base. Somehow I missed taking pictures of the pinning process. This one was pretty easy to pin down, though. This is after pinning and gluing the house. If you look closely, you can see the bead of glue around […]
next putz house is a green ski-slope
March 22, 2016 – 10:16 pm
I have started the next Putz house embellishment. I thought I took a picture of it before I started, but I can’t find it anywhere. In this photo, it is the green house with pink roof toward the back. I love the ski-slope roof on this one. The first thing I did was to add […]
green gabled house, finished
March 20, 2016 – 11:54 pm
This one was fun. Maybe because I love the colors so much. In the last post, I left off here… Partway through the process… Here are some of the bits and bobs I used to embellish this Putz house. Ferns, in a color I call “champagne.” These came on a long stem. I bought them […]
green gabled house, continued
March 20, 2016 – 11:54 am
As I said in my last post, I chose this little Putz house for my next project. I didn’t have any ink jet acetate for making window panes. Added it to my shopping list. Middle Daughter did find some vellum in the craft room for me to try. I used a yellow Sharpie to color […]
green gabled Putz house
March 19, 2016 – 1:05 pm
I pulled out some of my Putz houses I made a few years ago. They need bases and embellishments. As you can see, I like the vintage style. Simple design and a smaller size than many being made currently. The larger ones are beautiful, too, and I hope to make some one day, but I […]
another putz church
March 18, 2016 – 10:47 pm
This little Putz church is like the one I just finished (you can see it here: little Putz church, continued), though this one is trimmed in blue instead of yellow. This one also has the addition of a bell in the tower. I made both the church and the base last year. I pulled them […]
