Gather your craft supplies and set up a cozy crafting space with good lighting to build your putz houses! The craft supplies you need are pretty basic & readily available from your local craft store or Amazon. If you plan to make White Houses, you only need glue to assemble and cover the windows with vellum!

building supplies:

• Quick Dry Tacky Glue/Quick Grip Glue (construction)

• Rubber Cement/Tombow Mono Glue or Quick Grip Glue (vellum windows)

• Krylon Sealing Spray (optional) seals & protects houses you don’t paint or glitter from dust + humidity

paint + glitter supplies:

• Acrylic Paints + White Acrylic Paint

• Round + Flat Paintbrushes (med to small size)

• Art Glitter Adhesive or Tacky Glue (glittering)

• Ultrafine Crystal Glitter (for house)

  ✦ many “clear” glitters contain iridescent flakes —you want a non iridescent glitter

• Crystal Glitter (larger size for snow)

• Deco Art Snow-Tex (small size jar)

optional supplies:

• Gesso Primer Folk Art 6 oz (Michaels stocks this small bottle)

• Silver/Colored Ultrafine Glitter

• Glass Glitter 100/90 & 80/70 grit + Glitter Adhesive glitteredcrafts.com

  • beautiful sparkle/better for the environment but not recommended with children

helpful bits + bobs

• Wax Paper + Shallow Box (catch/reuse glitter) shallow garden store plant boxes are perfect

• Small glass jar with lid (mix + use glitter glue)

• Glass of water + paper towel (clean brushes)

• Chopstick/Paintbrush handle (reach glue tabs inside the house if you have short fingers like me)

I hope you enjoy making these glittery miniature houses! I love how they adapt to any color palette or holiday decorating style. Pinterest boards and Procreate Color Palettes are great sources for color inspiration, coordinating a village color scheme, or house/trim combinations!

Have fun! — Carol
