Glitter Putz Christmas Houses

These little glitter or putz houses were so much fun to make!!! Find the Harvest House pattern here:http://magazine-directory.com/Victoria.htm Trace the patterns onto poster board, cut out and glue coordinated scrapbook papers to the different pieces. Use an exacto knife to cut out the windows, take your time on this, its pretty tricky. Hot glue the houses together and let them dry thoroughly. Glue door and door knob and glue trim across the front of the home (see pic.) Glue paper on boxes you've gotten for the bases, let dry. Now the fun begins!! Apply glue to all the cracks and crevices of the roof, (I used craft glue for this, hot glue dries too quickly.) Sprinkle clear glue, vintage mica glitter or fake snow into these places. Let dry. Hot glue silver pipe cleaners around base of box top. Glue house to base of box, sprinkle these places with glitter. Let dry. Attach vintage bottle brush trees to either or both sides with hot glue, then add anything else you think looks good. I added silver holly and vintage ornaments. Glue over- sized snowflakes and mini frames to back of house for a more dimensional look. Glue mini glass balls to points of roof and push down trinket pins as well (see Pics) When everything was dry I sprayed it with adhesive and sprinkled mica glitter gently over the roof and sides. I had fun gathering all the different elements. Scrapbook papers, Coordinating brads and blank boxes from the craft store. Vintage bottle brush trees, mica glitter and trinket pins from eBay. Glitter pipe cleaners,found objects,and vintage glass balls from garlands that I already had. This was so relaxing and fussy!! I loved it!!
