It was simply too much fun to create this crafty little birdhouse. Broken down into a few steps each night, it was really simple and soothing to my work worn senses.
It all began with a plain, nude wood birdhouse. The first night I painted the walls and roof. The second night I painted the fencing and made touch ups.
Turns out I did not have the color of flowers needed for this project. However, I did have floral spray paint in the right color. After finding some old cream colored flowers, I began an experiment to see if I could create the color I needed. Happy to say, it worked! The flowers turned out beautiful and added the extra special touch I was looking for.
Now, I don't know about you, but I tend to create as I go. An idea is formed but really is not complete until I can visually see it. Originally, the ideas was to just paint the birdhouse and add some bling. In the long run, a fence, flowers with bling and a beautiful ribbon found their way onto the birdhouse.
The fence is made from popsicle sticks and paint. The flowers were painted, as mentioned, and then bling added with fabric glue. The ribbon also has bling attached with fabric glue.
For new crafters, fabric glue is the bomb! LOVE IT!!!
And here are the other crafty birdhouses I recently created...
Hope you enjoy these crafty little birdhouses. As you can see, the first inspired many more. However, the original one with the fencing and ribbon is my FAVE!
