Pre-Cut Victorian Gabled Octagon House Kit

$14.99 – $18.99

This is a pre-cut KIT to make one Putz style house, NOT a finished house.

I consider this an advanced kit.

** Now offered in four different sizes (see below.) **

The Gabled Octagon House is the third in my Victorian Series and was the June 2021 Putz House Monthly pattern. Create your own Gabled Octagon House with this pre-cut kit. You can paint the house, paint the house and glitter it, glitter just parts of the house like the roof, use the kit pieces as a guide to cut out decorative paper that you can glue onto the house, or just leave the building white for a modern look.

House can be lit from within using an LED tea light or fairy lights (not included.) I offer two choices with this kit – a hole in the bottom of the building to insert a light, or a hole in the back of the building like a traditional Putz House.

You can easily adapt this house to different holidays such as Halloween or Valentine’s Day with appropriate colors, accents and accessories.

Collect an entire village made by YOU! These look great on a mantle or as a village around the base of a tree. They make wonderful housewarming gifts or presents for every occasion. Check back often as I am constantly designing new buildings.

Kits are made to order. Shipped only within the U.S.

This kit is for personal use ONLY. Please do not copy, distribute, or sell any part of this design or the instructions without my permission.

I now offer four different sizes in this listing:

S Scale (original size) Size of the finished house will be approximately 6 1/2″ W x 5 1/2 “D x 6 3/4”. These measurements do not include the size of the base. S Scale kits are sized to work well with houses made with the Original Tim Holtz Village dies or with S gauge train layouts (1:64 – American Flyer.)

O Scale – Size of the finished house will be approximately 8 2/3″ W x 7 1/3″ D x 9″ H. These measurements do not include the size of the base. O Scale kits are sized to work well with O gauge train layouts or with 1:48 dollhouses.

OO Scale – Size of the finished house will be approximately 5 1/2″ W x 4 5/8″ D x 5 2/3″ H. These measurements do not include the size of the base. OO Scale kits are sized to work well with houses made with the NEW Tim Holtz Village THINLIT dies or with OO gauge train layouts (1:76.2.)

HO Scale – Size of the finished house will be approximately 4 3/4″ W x 4″ D x 5″ H. These measurements do not include the size of the base. HO Scale kits are sized to work well with HO gauge train layouts (1:87.)

A note about sizing: if you are trying to match the size/ scale of your existing buildings. use the following rule of thumb: Measure the height of the door on one or more of the pieces you own to get an average. If it is around 1.25″, buy the original S scale kit. If it is around 1.66″, buy the O scale kit. If it is around 1.05″, buy the OO scale kit. And if is around .9″, buy the HO kit. Of course this is just a round approximation. A Tudor style house will have a shorter door than a castle.
