Hi everyone! Today I am sharing a quick craft with all of you. I found these cute little birdhouses at my local Dollar Tree and I wanted to share with all of you how to decorate them using decoupage, faux floral, paint and for this, I am using a section of scrap wood that I had on hand. A link to my video tutorial will be added below. Be sure to visit my YouTube channel for more DIY crafts!

Materials
You will need the following:
One square wood section
One birdhouse
One decorative napkin
Mod podge
Acrylic paint
Scissors
One watering can decoration
Faux flowers
Floral cutters
Floral sticker
Hot glue
Wood glue
Start by adding your paint to your square wood section. I applied two coats of paint called celery between drying.
Next, apply your white acrylic paint to your birdhouse.
Next, we will work with the mod podge and the decorative napkin. Use your scissors and cut the amount needed to cover the top of your birdhouse.
Next, use your paintbrush to apply a layer of mod podge to the top of your birdhouse.
Use your scissors and cut the amount needed to cover the top of your birdhouse.
Next, use your paintbrush to apply a layer of mod podge to the top of your birdhouse.
If you decide to add the watering can, you can apply paint to it.
This is also optional, but you can also add a decorative sticker to your watering can.
You can also add your twine bow.
Add your wood glue to the bottom of your birdhouse and attach it to the wood section.
Use your floral cutters and begin to cut your flowers.
After, take your flowers, and begin to add them to your wood section using hot glue.
This is optional, but you can outline the flowers, and birds using paint. This will brighten the area around them.
Lastly, take your watering can and use hot glue to attach it to your wood section.

How cute and perfect for spring. Thanks so much for linking up at #AThemedLinkup 144 for Spring Crafts and Décor. Shared.
ReplyDeleteDee, thank you. I love that my local Dollar Tree had these little birdhouses available. :)
DeleteWhat an adorable birdhouse Stephanie! I really like the added touch of the printed napkins to the roof. Thank you for sharing with Whimsy Home Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteThank you! 😊 You're so kind. I like the added touch that the decorative napkin gave as well. I also love how simple this was to create.
DeleteStephanie, your birdhouse is adorable!!! I am happy to have shared it for you at this week's Share Your Style #382. <3 I love little birdhouses and created some for friends by decorating their roofs with broken bits of plates and bowls years ago. I kept one which has broken bits of a Villeroy & Boch butterdish and a pretty saucer from a teacup set on its roof! (For your next one!!)
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you,
Hugs,
Barb :)
Thank you so much. I love the idea of decorating the birdhouses with broken bits of bowls and plates. I also love that you used a saucer from a teacup set. I am sure it turned out beautiful and your friends loved it very much.
