Instructions
- Cut out all of your materials: Milk Carton and butterflies using your Sizzix, Punch to do your Bird and leaves.
- Fold on all of the score lines of the Milk Carton.
- With the "Tab" of the Birdhouse to the left, punch your hole in the center of the 3rd rectangle.
- Assemble the Milk Carton using the Sticky Strip. Using the Stapler to close the top.
- Fold the paper for roof in half. Using the ScallopTrim Border Punch, punch the edges of the roof ( one side at a time). Adhere to the "house" using sticky strip.
- Fill the house with the shredded paper and Candy Eggs. (this is easier to do before finishing although it is possible once the Birdhouse is complete).
- Using the sponge dauber, run it across the Bashful Blue inkpad and rub the edges of the bird, set aside to dry momentarily.
- Adhere the leaves to the "house" using the Glue Dots.
- Adhere the Butterflies to roof and "house" using glue dots. ( You will have five butterflies, but use only 3, I used the largest, the smallest[on the front] and the one with the lines. You can keep the other two for a later project.)
- Adhere the wing to the bird's body(with the beak facing to the left) with a Stampin Dimensional, now adhere the bird to the "house" using glue dots.
- To finish it off, use the small library clip from the clips assortment and place in the middle of the roof.
Cute little birdhouse! I'm now following you through Stampin Connection
