Let There Be Light
Topic: Other Projects

Occasionally I will run across things at the craft store on such a sale that I can't leave them there. For instance, little wooden birdhouses for fifty cents each could NOT be left alone. I've had them for a couple of years - along with two other sets in different styles.

From the time I saw these birdhouses styled after lighthouses I wanted to decorate them for summer with red, white and blue. I did all the solid coloring with Distress Inks. The papers are from a 12 x 12 patriotic cardstock pad. The pieces were rough-cut and attached with Scor-Tape around the edges. Then I used a sanding block to file away the overhang.


I used a gold Krylon paint pen to color the top pegs and inside the edges of the holes.

There is a 4-sided one:


There is a 5-sided one:


And a 6-sided one:


It makes me want to get busy making up the other two sets. They will be for different seasons (most likely Spring and Christmas)
