Equipment

Materials

  • Wooden Birdhouses
  • Craft Paints
  • Decorative Napkins
  • Mod Podge or White Glue
  • Twine
  • Floral Wire

Instructions

  • Remove the hanging rope from the houses and discard or keep for another use.
  • Paint the perch, edges, back, sides, and bases of the birdhouses in different colors.
  • Remove the top layer of the napkin and cut it to cover the face and roof.
  • Glue the napkin on with Mod Podge or white glue and then use an emery board or a piece of sandpaper to sand the edges off.
  • Repeat with all of the houses.
  • After the glue and paint dries, cut a piece of twine a little larger than the size of your mantel.
  • Start in the middle with your first house. Hot glue the twine to the spot in the roof where the hanger was removed. Then place a small piece of floral wire over top to hold it into place.
  • Continue to attach the other houses at equal distances apart.
  • Hang the garland of birdhouses, trim any excess twine, and enjoy.

Notes

I chose to use the same napkin on all of the of houses and used four different colors for the painted areas. However, you can choose to paint them all the same color and use different napkins. Whatever speaks to your creative spirit.
