Handmade Halloween Putz Houses

It's that time of year again!
Halloween is in some ways as magical as Christmas to me.
This year I was able to produce 3 Putz houses
instead of just one like last year.
To some, that doesn't sound noteworthy at all,
but when these are made from scratch, without any die cut machine,
and so many details are put into each one,
it's a lot.

This time I took a picture of them at their humble beginnings.


Each house is designed and cut by hand,
with no use of a diecut machine.


Hand-cut siding is applied one piece at a time.


Painted solid black as basecoat to enhance dry-brushing topcoats.


Handmade Paperclay stones.

Finished!


The tree roots are created with a glue gun,
then painted to match the tree.


The Paperclay landscape stones are painted
individually in multiple colors.


This is a Witch's Cottage, with handmade broom,
stick fences, and bonfire stick/stone pile.

All 3 are now available in my Etsy Shop.
