You will need a putz house ,bottle brush trees,pipe cleaners,beads,snow tex ,coarse crystal clear glitter,modge podge and craft paint! Happy crafting!!!www.pinterest....
I started making a Putz houses three years ago and it has now become a Christmas tradition. Congratulations, this is a great tutorial. Thanks so much for sharing your techniques and the pattern.
I love it and you are so upfront and kind to share with us all how we can also try to recreate the vintage look of Putz houses. Blessings to you and yours.
Santa came early! I was so happy to see part 2. Thank you for putting it up so quickly! I love your wonderful putz houses and moreso b/c they are pink and green. I must get some Snowtex now that I know that is how you make the drifted/piled up snow. The tip for the gold spray paint is good to know. I've aged tinsel using a tip from Tim Holtz who said to use Vintage Sepia archival/permanent ink. I have that ink pad and used a rubber sponge and dabbed it, which is fine for a small project; but the gold spray paint w/be so quick and easy. Years ago I got a tip from a magazine on how to make a cheap green fake Christmas tree look better: you use white spray paint. It tones down the green and worked like a charm. The tree is still green, but better. A tip I found online and tried is making icicles to hang from the roof using glue and glitter. It worked well and it has held up too; although I don't know if it would be considered traditional for Putz houses. You take some wax paper/non-stick paper or mat and using a bottle of glue (I used Elmers school glue b/c it has a nice nozzle) you draw a line of glue, dipping down to make icicles (easier to do than explain). Make it as long as you wish. Then you sprinkle it with glitter (before it dries) and allow to dry for several hours. When it is dry it is pliable and can be picked up. You can cut it to length if need be. To put it on my houses I used hot glue. Again, thank you for sharing your techniques for making these wonderful nostalgic houses. I love retro/nostalgia so much it's a real treat for me.
I found you and am so happy that I watched part one and two. The houses are just darling. I didn't know what a Putz house was. I love miniatures and I am going to try making a house.
I love all your ideas...been binge watching. Just a suggestion on your multiple paint layers. Most people hate priming, both on real life projects & crafts, but one coat of zinser 123 will save you both the time & the paint from doing any more than 2 layers of color. Can't wait to start trying some of your "sweets".
I have been watching your videos lately and I’m totally amazed. I love your fake food. I’m going to try the house. My only problem is I cannot find the cherries. Can you tell me where you buy them? I would appreciate it. Beautiful work.
I have a glitter house that I am about to put together. I found a pattern for one on ebay. My first! I was in Hobby Lobby on Sat and forgot to look for snow. I wondered what brand of Snow you used. And I wondered if you used Mod Podge to add glitter or if you used a spray adhesive. I want to glitter or mica all of it. I'll have to get back over there in the next day or so because I want to finish this house. Thanks for the instructions, you answered a lot of questions I had about decorating them. You made these two videos exactly when I was on youtube trying to find instructions like yours! I have seen so many of these cute little glitter houses online. After you made a few of them were you able to make your own house patterns? I bought two already made at Hobby Lobby and I have some ideas on how to work with these to make them my own. I want to use the colors pink and aqua. Hobby Lobby also had some decorated bottle brush trees in my favorite shade of pink.
Nanette W Hi! So glad to hear your making some too !💕When I first started making them I used a few patterns from Pinterest then soon after I made all my own patterns! Yes I put Modge Podge first then glitter all of it .The fake snow I use is Snow-Tex by DecoArt.I love pink bottle brush trees too!I was in a hurry to get these two videos out so people could make some for Christmas!So glad you found me !Happy crafting !💖💖💖
Jen DuBay I don’t paint first for many reasons ,you would see the glue on top of the paint and if you paint the paper it make wrinkle a tad as well.Better to paint over the glue and while the house is intact.You would actually make more work for yourself in the end !LOL
ThePinkTree ah. I do similar designs for D&D terrain. We paint before anything is cut, so there is no warping- paint on the back side, cut on the front. I would think the glue wouldn’t show because you’re just covering everything with glitter anyway, and you need glue to do that.
@@thepinktree3490 I have been making glitter houses for many years, and use Bristol Board instead of plain card stock. This is meant to be painted on and won't wrinkle. Bristol Board comes in tablets where art supplies are sold.The houses I make are often quite tiny, depending on which setting they'll go in. Sorry to say, but you're such a messy glue-er :o) I use a palette knife to spread glue as you have so much more control than straight out of the bottle. Also, the newer "fast grab" or "quick grab" glues work so much better for holding instantly.
The last sellers I bought from don't sell them anymore!But I can tell you I always buy 4mm , glass and they are not expensive!Found this link that is similar!www.ebay.ca/itm/Top-Quality-Czech-Glass-Pearl-Round-Beads-3mm-4mm-6mm-8mm-10mm-12mm-14mm-16/300958784746?var=600242050128

The out-takes part at the beginning was great. I'm glad you left it in :)

Oh thank you !! Makes such great gifts too!
Gengu I probably won’t make that because I would have to buy the pattern in order to make it.But you can try it !LOL

@@thepinktree3490Hi, I love your videos on how to make Putz Houses. How do you bleach the green Christmas trees so they turn cream in colour?
@@amandajones6481 I just soak them in bleach and water !
I wish I could like and love and throw virtual glitter on all your videos at once! You are the bomb, girl!
Thank you !!🥰❤️
Sorry about the editing on this one !! LOL!I meant to cut out the first part where I messed up !
I love it and you are so upfront and kind to share with us all how we can also try to recreate the vintage look of Putz houses. Blessings to you and yours.

G'day Dawn, Happy New Year! What do you make the houses out of? Is it balsa wood or cardboard? Cheers
Card stock!
TE QUEDÓ PRECIOSA!!!
So cute
Thank you!
On my list to make soon Dawn, x
hoooo!! que bonitas esas casas 👍🏠
Could you use white caulking instead of the Snow Tex?
Late to ask this, but did you list a vendor or site for the little beads? I just heard online I think. Is there a specific size bead??
Kelli Johnson I buy 4mm!There are multiple vendors to buy from on eBay:)
Hi Dawn, Could you please tell me where to get the fine brush you are using to paint around your windows? Thank you!!
Hi!I buy them at a local bargain centre so I don’t have a link for them !
@@thepinktree3490 thank you!
Hi pink tree .. can you please tell me where you get your cardstock ?? It looks thicker than the one I am using. These are beautiful. Thank you.
I buy it from Staples!It comes in a big package with 250 sheets .
Perhaps 110lb cardstock so it thick enough to hold up
What’s the greenish color called you used I love that color
Wounder if you make these for some other hoilday or season other christmas
Every holiday!!🤗
Where are you found on pinterest? Heard you mention it but not what your name is on there.
Dawn Newell!
Would it be easier to paint the window before putting the "glass" in?
I actually do that now!
Wouldn’t it be easier to paint before assembly? While it’s still flat?
