Altered Birdhouse from Michael's

I bought a couple of these at Michael's with the intent of decorating and giving to my mother in law. I thought she could put it on her sun porch.
I started out by mixing tthe two colors of acrylic paint to get a green bluish shade. Painted all areas that I thought would be exposed.
Then proceded to make templates of the roof, back, side and bottom pieces. I cut them out of My Minds Eye Bella Bella stack of scrapbooking paper and adhered them to the sides (except the front was just painted) with AC Moore craft glue.
To add to the antique look or aged look, I dabbed my finger in the painted and did a wiping effect to the edges. You can see it in the video.
After all was dried I used twine as vines and hot glued on the prima paper flowers.

Look forward to making the second one in different colors.

Wooden Birdhouse altered

I bought this birdhouse at AC Moore, and decorated it with paint, Basic Grey paper and rhinestones from Michaels.
Lace is from JoAnns.
Stick Pins are from Making Memories that I bought months ago at Michael's clearance wall.
I bought another birdhouse last night at JoAnns that I'll be decorating in coordinating items as well - so make a set!
Spring will be here soon and want these on display in my window.

Bird House - SU products

I created this one for my SU consultant. She is so kind and wanted to make her something with the SU products that i have bought from her.
I was short on time so I did not get to put everything on it as I was out the door to her stamp camp.
I filled it with candy - she loved it!
