Bird House Project
As I was clipping back dead stalks I realized I could put to use some of this material. The brainstorm came overnight as those typically do, that I could decorate wooden bird houses. We stopped at Joann's on Saturday before going to see a wonderful movie (The Artist) and there outside the doors were an assortment of wooden houses just waiting for me. I couldn't pass up getting three different ones.

Now I have to figure out how to preserve it and whether it can go outside.

The birdhouse looks great! I don't know if it will fare the weather outside with the leaves on it. You can always spray it with some type of sealer for crafts. I'm sure that there are a lot of different sealers available now.
ReplyDeleteawesome! I can only wish for your creativity
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable!!! If I were a bird, that's the home I'd want! I hope you can spray it with something that will keep it preserved. And then put it in a place of honor, not necessarily outside.
