Birdhouse
Fabulous little birdhouse from Faith’s Craft Studio.
Let’s get started on this fun little project.
Start putting the birdhouse together, placing the wide panels on the outer edge.
Work your way to the top using a tacky quick-drying glue.
The panels with the holes are where the chimney will go, like pictured. Put the chimney together.
It should look like this and ready to paint.
Paint with Gesso to seal
Using a brush coat the sides with crackle paste
I used Graphic 45 Fairy Wings got decorate the roof, but you can use whatever paper you like.
Choose your paper to punch out the roof tiles. I have used a heart punch here.
Glue them upside down to give the tile effect.
Use a dark green spray with a sponge and dab into the crackers and around the four sides.
It should look like this.
Die-cut leaves/flourish and add to the front and sides.
Use a leftover wrapping paper roll and paint it. I used Tim Holtz Rustic Wilderness.
When the paint is dry, glue leaves and wreaths on the base.
Highlight with waxes.
Glue the base to the top of the Birdhouse.
Cut out a round circle for the base to balance on, and paint black.
Glue to the bottom of the base.
Die-cut leaves
Add the flourishes to the bottom of the birdhouse.
Die-cut garden greens and add them to the bottom of the base.
I hope you enjoyed making your birdhouse!
