Just finished another Halloween Putz house. This one has a textured roof which is designed to look like slate. It's the first time I've used a stencil with Tim Holtz' texture paste and I like the way it looks. This house is for a friend of mine who requested her house a little later and she really liked Jack's house so this is the same pattern, just another variation. I love this pattern. It is so versatile and makes such great little houses.
You can find Jack's house pattern in this post - Make your own original Putz house - part 2. Instructions for making the house and how to make your own patterns are included in these two posts:
Make Your Own Original Putz House - Part 1 and
Make Your Own Original Putz House - Part 2.
Materials:
- Cardboard for the house
- Glue - Aleene's Quick Grab is my favorite though it is very thick and hard to squeeze out of the bottle
- Paints - acrylic paints in grey and white and black. I like to use Tim Holtz Distress Paints particularly, Black Soot with the dabber top to distress the paint on the houses.
- Distress paints

Thank you for your kind comment. I have learned a lot in the past few months making the little houses. Now they are close to being square which was not the case when I started.

Oh wow, I am so impressed with all of your houses! You do an amazing job and I need to remember your technique for the rusty roof - so cool. You are very talented!
