Are you in the mood for a craft or project?
Let us inspire you!
Now that we can’t run to the Dollar Store or Hobby Lobby,
take a close look around your house…
You are bound to find some things to transform!
I’ve had these sweet painted birdhouses for years,
see them perched on the top shelf in far right corner?
Glancing at them the other day I got an idea…
Inspired by MacKenzie-Childs bird houses,
It was time for a makeover!!
I decided to make them a little funkier,
and group them with a MacKenzie-Childs cake stand,
fish dish, and MKC inspired mini cake dome
I gathered craft supplies,
paint, glue gun, towels
Seashells, trinkets and assorted beads and glass from my “bling box”
And started gluing!
I embellished the sand dollar with a marker
and glued more shells to the bottom
This one got a pretty Junonia shell and sea glass
Glass beads for polka dots
hmmm, now the roofs…
Time for some paint!
The roofs got checks and stripes
the sides got glass beads and ombre waves
The other sides got a big sand dollar, a surf board and stripes
The green house got a row of tulips and striped eaves,
the others sported polka dots
And they’re done!
A sweet little bird house beach town!
I have been self distancing at our beach house the past 5 weeks,
beautiful Spring weather, and sea breezes so good to soothe the soul…
And a bright and happy vignette on the table!
I hope you are safe, healthy,
and staying busy, enjoying things you can do at home…
