Bird houses

Happy Tuesday everyone.

I wanted to share what I have been crafting the past 2 nights. Here are 2 birdhouses I bought at Michael's after the holidays and have had then sitting there bare. Sunday night I decided to give it a try and alter them. I did get my inspiration from alittleshabbychic on youtube. I saw hers and fell in love and I thought I should do that with the bird houses I have just sitting there.

I painted this none a vanilla color. I added lots of flowers I bought at a chinese ware house by me. I added lace around the body.

 This is the back side.

 For the base I used a spool I had from lace trims. I wrapped a vanilla color lace all around, hot gluing every so often. Glued down a spray from valentines I bought at Joanns and then some flowers, also from the chinese warehouses. I added a butterfly and some faux feather trim to the bottom.

 Here is the roof. Doesn't it look cute with all the little flowers. They were a pain to glue down. One by one. Lots of patience. But I really like the way the roof came out.

 This one I crackled it. I painted it a lime green. Then added elmers glue and then painted it white. The cracks on it look great. I added some flowers and a pearl trim to the roof over hang.

 Here is the back part. Some more flowers and a butterfly.

 Close up. Here you could see the detailed crackle finish.

 I used a bright yellow lace trim to the roof. It looks really nice.

On the base I did the same as what I did with the pink one.

Hope you all like my 2 bird houses. I would like to find some small birds for the houses. I will be on the look out for them. Maybe Micheal's has them small enough to fit in the holes.

Happy Tuesday.
