DIY Dollar Tree Birdhouse decoration

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.



Your birdhouse decoration is now complete.
Thank you so much for stopping by and creating this craft with me. I think this will make a great addition to my spring porch decor.

  3. Stephanie, 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!!)

    Happy Easter to you,
    Hugs,
    Barb :)
