The greeting card used to make the base set the tone for the colors used to decorate this spring church. The fence is made from white poster board. I cut the design with scallop scissors. Square balsa wood rods make great fence posts. The hole in the back allows the use of an LED light […]
I finished the winter church yesterday. The faux snow (Aleene’s True Snow) takes a few hours to set and a few days to completely dry. I photographed it today, but it won’t be ready to ship for a few more days. The church features a snow-covered winter tree and a surrounding hedge. The base is […]
The gray Thanksgiving / Autumn church is listed in my Etsy shop. It has a deep yellow roof and steeple. The Putz features a handcrafted autumn tree, four handcrafted pumpkins, a surrounding autumn hedge and a vine growing over the church roof. The base is made from an upcycled greeting card which features a beautiful […]
I drew the pattern for this church last week. It started as a house, but when I was looking through my stash of Easter cards for one to use to make the base, I found one that would be perfect for a church. I drew some additional pattern pieces to make the bell tower, and […]

This MINI Putz church is made from a pattern I drew in January of 2012. I’ve made a couple from that pattern in the last few weeks. This MINI version is the latest. The vintage-style card was very inspiring. I love the greens and blues on the card. I like to use greeting cards to […]
I drew the pattern for this little Putz church with inspiration from a vintage Christmas postcard that I saw online. When I make a Putz church, I like to use a nativity card for the base. This one inspired the use of yellow and red on the church building. I chose a darker red than […]
