Happy Valentine's Day to all of you love birds out there! I found this super cute birdhouse project on
Jo-ann's and just had to make it- or at least my version of it.
I remember back when I was in school we used to bring in little Valentine cards and slip them into each others homemade shoe boxes, well I thought that it was time to step up my Valentine's game and use a birdhouse instead!
Materials:
Wooden birdhouse
2 wooden hearts
Pink beads
Pink, red, white acrylic paint
Flat brush and detail brushes
Raffia
Spray varnish
Glue gun
Step 1:
Basecoat birdhouse in pink.
Step 2:
Paint trim red. Let dry for several hours.
Step 3:
Paint wooden hearts read also!
Step 4:
Apply a second coat for even coverage.
Step 5:
Glue beads onto the edge of the wooden heart.
Step 6:
Glue a heart onto each side of the bird house.
Step 7:
Apply tape in a checkerboard pattern and paint white.
Step 8:
Once dry, peel off the tape and freehand the rest of the pattern.
Step 9:
Glue on more pretty pink beads (there is currently an abundance of pink beads and glue all over my desk and floor).
Step 10:
Paint a big red heart around the opening of your birdhouse, which is sure to invite all of the chicks into your love nest!
Step 11:
Go outside and spray with varnish.
Step 12:
Google cute bird puns and be ready to say them to everyone!
