Putz House & Christmas Village Craft Supplies
Set up a cozy work area with good lighting and gather your craft supplies to make your putz house kits! The craft supplies you’ll need are pretty basic & readily available from your local craft store or online. You can also shop from my Putz House Craft Supply List on Benable.com! To make White Houses, you only need glue to assemble them and cover the windows with vellum! If you plan to paint your houses, Pinterest boards and Procreate Color Palettes are great sources of color inspiration to coordinate house +window trim or village color schemes!
