Paper Houses
Continuing our tradition of trying always to do our best creatively as well as within copyright restrictions, here is the second of two papercrafted buildings dating from around the turn of the last century. While we realize some of you may have never visited here before, please note how our instructions towards the completion of these two projects may be found HERE, where we've included the basic materials we'd recommend you start with, along with a few basic tips for use throughout. This may well be a tough project. It is not recommended children should try this on for themselves without some assistance, as for many it would be too difficult. However, when put together by adults and children together, it could well be a lot of fun. Let each house hold its own distinction, with color, decorative touches, and so forth, and let each child feel proud she or he was able to contribute to the process of making a truly unique finished product. It is possible, near where you and your family live, there could be some fine examples of mid-Victorian to late-Edwardian architecture. This might make for a fun family outing, and provide further ideas for what a house would look like from that era. Anyway, here are the patterns, with some instructions, for an antique style house made of paper. I think this might well be fun during Winter school break as well as for rainy days or family gatherings the rest of the year. Those already having our church pattern from this series may wish to call our villa the Rector's lodging or Minister's house. We think that, any way you may choose to consider the history behind such a little house, there's creative fun to be had. Happy Creativity, everybody!

When you were little, did you play with a dollhouse that just wasn't everything you dreamed it would be? So maybe you took cardboard and construction
Well, it's that time of year for me, which means my imagination goes into overdrive, with Christmas ornament and décor ideas bouncing around in my head..... I've been creating original ornaments for about 30 years, with new designs every year. While I never run out of ideas, in the end, I only produce to sell that which I am willing to re-produce. I've never been one for assembly line mass-production, because my fulfillment is dictated by quality over quantity. Therefore, I've got to really enjoy the design to repeat it many times. I did create some new ornaments for this year, but I also did something out of the norm for me. I was perusing Pinterest a few weeks ago, and I saw a picture of an artificial tiered tree, and each level layer displayed an entire village of Putz houses. Something clicked in my head, and I immediately got a bug in my bonnet to try my hand at making some Putz/Glitter houses. I've admired vintage ones for years, but it just never occurred to me to make them from scratch. You creative types understand, that once that epiphany happens, you just can't let it go till you give it a try. I think another reason the Putz idea appealed to me this year is because I have an ample supply of German glass glitter to play with. I've been wanting to incorporate glass glitter into my Christmas creations in a much bigger way, so this totally satisfies that need. So without further ado, here is my first Putz house production...... Oh my. Making these completely from scratch does require a great deal of patience. Especially when you're creating them to sell, and not to keep. You can take a lot of shortcuts for personal projects, like using a glue gun. These would've been done in no time flat with hot glue, but when aesthetics are a top priority for perfect tiny details and joining walls, roofs, and chimneys, you need the open time of white glue to get it just right. I also reinforced each structure, making braces from foamcore. Nothing speaks to your inner child better than glitter, glue, paint, and cardboard. I've only created 3 of this design, and I kept them small to start with. Each one stands approximately 3-3/8” tall and wide. I started completely from scratch, sketching out some designs, then cutting them out of chipboard. Since I don't have a die-cutter, and I ditched my printer years ago, everything was done old-school....pencil, cutting blade, and scissors. I used thick chipboard (I think 14ply), which I don't think could've gone through a printer anyway. I used Snow-Tex for the first time. While I bought it to try it out for snow, in the end, I used it to create stucco walls for the houses. I painted over the stucco texture with rich colors of matte finish Tiffany blue, Red, and Chartreuse paint I had mixed specially for my projects. I chose to leave the matte sheen, to give a velvety contrast to the glitter, and they really complement each other now. After visiting many Putz house sites, I decided to make my snow using thick white artist paint mixed with white glue. I love how it came out. It looks much more wispy and creamy, which is the look I was going for. I applied it with a plastic clay knife tool, spreading it like frosting. It also seemed to dry a bit faster than the Snow-Tex. I really wanted the houses to have seriously elegant twinkle, without the need to cut a hole in the back for a light bulb. Mission accomplished! I cut the tiny icicle trim and coated it with clear glass glitter. I also added the clear glitter to the tiny black windows to make them look icy. I have some other house designs swimming in my head, so we'll see what I'm ambitious enough to take on next. This must be said though........a lot of the larger Putz houses I've seen for sale truly deserve to be sold at a higher price than they are listed. These houses require a lot of time, patience and artistry, especially if made from scratch. I can see if they use pre-fab paper mache ones, that might lighten the load of work, but still, creativity is essential. So cheers to all the Putz house designers out there!
