Hey everyone.. it's Wednesday and I can't wait to show you the latest so I am getting right to it. I have to say sometimes my "Sometimers" kicks in and I forget to take all the pictures I mean to. LOL!!
I have to apologize that I did not get the before pictures. I guess I get so excited and jump right into my project. Anyway on a trip to Goodwill looking for something else I ran across two unfinished, completely raw birdhouses for only .99cents each. I gave one to my bestie so she could make hers and I got started on mine.
I am a
HUGE Pinterst person and I saw these birdhouses a little bit ago. Aren't they sooo adorable? I just knew I had to make them and when I came across the birdhouses I knew it was a sign from the Halloween gods.
I need to give credit where credit is due and give thanks to
Shanty 2 chic for posting this great Halloween craft.
Ohhh on the same trip I also ran across the perfect candle stick for it - BONUS!!!
So here is my version.
This is the front. I just used scrapbook paper for the whole thing. As you can see from the little bird perch on the front it is green. I painted the whole house green first and then ModPodge'd the scrap paper on all the sides. In my stash of goddies I had the little embelies, got my trusty glue gun out and attached them. I think it's hard to see but my little black birds (one at the top and one peeking out the hole) have red eyes. What I did was pulled out their little black eyes and replaced them with red bling jewels. I also painted the candle stick black and then on the top and bottom added a row of bling.
This is the back of it. I really didn't feel like embellishing the back at all but really love the skull paper. All this paper came from a pack I had from last year so this was kept on the real cheep.. just left overs.
On this side I had embossed the paper first with my SU spider web folder but after ModPodging it on, as you can see, the emboss got lost so it needed a web, another cute left over embeli. I also had the big sparkly spider which I glued on the top and added a little red hour glass on her back side.
In case you can't see I glued googly eyes all over the side. The paper reminds me of eyeballs.
So now that Halloween is almost here and soon to be over I can start on some home improvement DIYs.
