I ended up making about 15-16 Easter Houses in all. 4 were the tree stump, leafy houses which I posted a while ago and the others were made from a commercial die (not custom) that I bought. I just thought I would show these even though Easter was a month ago. They were fun to make.

A couple of kids started to pull off the eggs because they looked like candy. As you can see (because the glue was drying in these photos) I used a LOT of glue to hold them down and their mothers were able to stop them. But yes, the Easter bunny did put candy inside.

Several moms sent me pictures of their children holding the houses. The photos are so cute because they hold them like such treasures. I made the walls double thick for sturdiness so I think they will survive many Easters.

Thank you for your kind words. Lucy

Lucy...

You said..."I just thought I would show these even though Easter was a month ago"...

Howard says..."Post any house, any season, any time!"...

I'm certain the entire putz community agrees with me...
