I promised you more incredible creations from the Little House Making Craft Party. All of these lovely little Putz houses are from the second night of the party.
Gold Roof Christmas Church
The pretty little church has a wonderful roof and a pretty bottle brush forest.
Barn Putz House with a Forest of Trees
What is remarkable about the house below is how she turned the roof into a metal roof and made such a great forest of trees around her little house. Also she used some garland to make the wreath and painted stepping stones as well. I also like the smattering of snow. Oh yes, and the door. She made a wonderful door for her scene.
Shiny Roof Putz Church
Here I just love the way my friend used the new Sizzix impresslit die cuts to make the roof on this elegant Putz church. And the colors are great too.
Stone-Sided Cottage
One of my creative friends made this house by cutting out the windows from a piece of scrapbook paper with a stone pattern on it. Then she cut out a shingle pattern and landscaped the scene beautifully with tiny bottle brush trees and garland draped around the window. She also made the wonderful little wreath. And to finish it off she decorated a ribbon roll for the base with a woodland scene. I love this little house.
Little Green Bird House
I cannot remember who painted this little bird house, but the green shades are beautiful. This little house has a ribbon roll base as well. I love the fat little bird in the opening of the bird house.
Village Dwelling Putz House with a Red Bird and Clock
Elegant Black and White Putz House
Below you see an elegantly simple house. Yesterday I told you that people painted a lot of the roof black. And I had no idea how beautiful it could be for Christmas.
Glitter Painted Little House surrounded by deer and santa and the snowman
Another simple house that is very fun though. This person (and I think a child made this one) painted the house with paint and then used glitter paint on tip. I love all the creatures surrounding the house.
Red and Yellow Village Dwelling House
I love the color scheme of this little house. Roof patterns aren’t that easy to cut out. But no one worried if it was perfect or not. That was the great thing.
Little house nestled in the forest
Now I just love the shiny colors and how the little house is nestled behind the trees.
Church nestled in the trees
Such a pretty setting for the little church.
Simple Little house on a snow-covered base
Ribbon Roll as the base for these Putz houses
Once again the ribbon roll bases show off the little houses.
Great Variation with the Ribbon Roll base
Here’s another little Christmas house on a ribbon roll base. But the maker spent an hour or so dangling charms from the edge of the roll. It’s a great way to decorate the base.
Whimsical Diorama
And finally, just to show you how creative the kids were, here is a diorama one of the kids made. They didn’t just stop at making houses.
So those are the photos from the second night of the Little House Making Party. I hope you find them inspiring.

November 24, 2018 at 3:07 pmDidn’t the guests do a great job on all of these houses? I was very impressed with their creativity.
On Monday I start a new series called 12 Houses of Christmas where I post a little house each day for 12 days to fit on a Christmas wreath. That will keep me busy for a few days.
So January is when you are going to start building the little houses? I look forward to seeing your projects.

November 29, 2018 at 3:58 pmI stumbled across your charming houses by accident and am loving them. I plan to create my first house this weekend. My question for all of you is this: How do you store your creations?
Lucy says
November 29, 2018 at 6:44 pmCynthia, I am so glad you found the little houses. I love the little houses, but even more I love to MAKE the little houses so I had to figure out what to do with them. My solution is to sell them for a charity. It’s hard to make enough money for the time you put in making the houses when you sell them, so I donate the money to Habitat. In other words, I try not to store the houses. I think most people store them in boxes when they are not on display.

December 27, 2018 at 7:57 amHello Lucy and Little house creators
I’m in rural northern England and just getting started on little houses. I’ve always loved little buildings but not really made them before, although I am a prolific needleworker and crafter. I’ve been collecting all kinds of cardboard, and paper and bits for decorating the houses.
But I cannot find the little deer figures anywhere online and though the nearest craft supplies shop had bottlebrush trees, it quickly sold out of them, and didn’t have any little figures or animals.
I love your posts and pictures!😄

December 27, 2018 at 9:26 amThe little deer figures are kind of a specialty item that you see the mostly around Christmas time. Here’s an Amazon link to the little deer. But you can sometimes find them on Etsy under vintage miniature deer figures or something like that.
See if you can find them that way. Thank you for commenting. Let me know if you have any other questions. Lucy
