I finished this little house today. I like the color combination. The embellishments are copper colored. The base is 5 1/4″ wide and 3 3/4″ deep. The Putz measures 5 1/2″ tall, from the bottom of the base to the top of the foliage. A tiny brown, glass bead serves as a door knob. The […]
My first custom order. I made it for a local friend. She wanted gray and yellow and no green to match a particular room in her home. It was the biggest Putz project I have undertaken. Here is a close-up of the first little house. And the church. And the other little house. Top view. […]
I finished this little white and blue church today. I had put it on the base and added the fence a few weeks ago, but had set it aside. It slipped my mind until I saw it today while clearing space on the craft counter. Decided to finish it. The foliage is pink and a […]
These three Putz churches will be posted to my Etsy shop, ChristmasNotebook, in the next day or so. I just finished them. Lots of fun to do. This little white and pink Putz church is trimmed with silver glitter. I kept the design very simple by adding two bottle brush trees. The second church is […]
I finished three Putz houses today and worked on a couple of others. I am trying to use up the stash of houses I started during the past year or so and never finished. I love the purple and green one. The beads under the roofline show up better in this picture. I think this […]
Last week I saw a Putz log cabin online that I liked a lot. I thought I had saved it to Pinterest, but can’t find it now. I wish I could share the picture with you. I did decide to make a pattern from it and spent several days, off and on, working out the […]
I have been trying several ways to make picket fences for Putz houses. I came up with some options, using corrugated cardboard. The cardboard I used is a thin cardboard with about seven ridges per inch. It came from a box for a dustbuster. The “picket” fence I describe in this post was inspired by […]
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. […]
