Christmas Birdhouse

Untitled design (13)

I found this barn style birdhouse for about $3 at the Goodwill store.

I had this piece of wood from a previous project that I will be using for the base of this birdhouse.

I first started off with this Waverly Chalk Plaster paint.

I painted the birdhouse with 2 coats, the Waverly Chalk Plaster. (before painting I did a light sanding)

I also painted the wood with 2 coats of the Waverly Chalk Plaster. (before painting I did a light sanding)

I took my glue gun to create the icicles that will be placed at the roof of the birdhouse.

I hot glued the icicles to the roof to the house.

Next, I added some baking powder to some white Waverly Chalk Plaster to create texture for snow. I added the paint on the roof and the icicles. I then added a little glitter to the snow.

 Before going any further I drilled a hole in the back of the house.

I inserted fairy lights through the hole.

I had this Dollar Tree Christmas tree, but I wanted to add some berries to the tree.

These berries were part of a bundle I also got at Dollar Tree.

This is what the tree looks like once the berries were hot glued on.

I wanted to add a couple of gingerbread and floral to the project. So, I pulled out these two molds. I used Das clay to mold my gingerbread and floral. These are the colors that were used to color the molds. This is what the molds look like after being painted.

I hot glued a wreath that I got from Amazon last year and the painted mold floral to the front of the house.

After looking at the house I decided to add lights to the wreath.

I found this snow from last year, and I wanted to add it to the painted wood base.

I added some paint to the wood so that the snow would stick to it. I then turned the wood over to remove the extra snow that did not stick.

21bh

I used wood glue to glue down the birdhouse to the wood. Next, I hot glued the Christmas tree to the wood. (not shown I painted the base of the tree a chestnut color). I added more fairy lights to the Christmas tree and under the roof of the house.
