Butterfly Birdhouse

by 12 Comments

My daughter and I have been enjoying the lazy days of Summer and have been busy making simple crafts together.  When we visited a craft store where she picked out a bunch of inexpensive wood projects to paint and decorate.  Of course, I’m always up for a good decoupage/wood project so I thought I’d make my own lil’ Butterfly Birdhouse for a friend of mine who I know would appreciate some cheer.

I used Mod Podge to adhere patterned paper on the birdhouse, inked the roof and sides of the house and cut out   like a million 2″ flowers from the Cricut Flower Shoppe cartridge to cover the roof.   I also added  some super cute transparent butterflies on to the birdhouse that came from a Studio Calico kit.

I think it took like like 27 flowers to cover the roof.  OK-I’ll admit, it was kind of therapeutic rolling flowers, hot gluing them together then repeating like 26 more times.   I did mention  I was enjoying the lazy days of Summer, right?
