Spring is finally here so instead of being outside in my garden I decided to spend the afternoon in my craftroom playing about with a cheap 99p birdhouse I had picked up from my local 99p store. Sorry I forgot to take a photo of the before but believe me it was tacky looking - even had a glitter roof lol. I will be heading back there to buy a few more for stash. I will list all ingredients I used to alter it
modeling paste
brick stencil and leaf flourish stencil
white acrylic
wooden birds painted pink
dried moss sprayed with white dylusions
eggs I made from air clay
feathers
willow twigs from garden for the roof
lolly sticks bound with raffia and then painted white for fencing
pink and platinum inka gold
Did you notice the birds with moss in their beaks lol - I tried at least!

I threw all the ingredients into a mixing bowl, shook and mixed for 5 mins, did a dance round the room and voila it sprung up and jumped onto the table.
Now for the copious amount of pics... SORRY!
First pic is of a birdhouse slightly similar to the one I have altered
Now for my version
