I have been busy busy busy working, but I'm making time to make some Christmas gifts.
One of my projects are these little holiday birdhouses. They're not done, and I'm not sure where I'm going with them from here. But I was anxious to share ;)
I hate to say it, but Martha Stewart kind of rocks!
These little birdhouses are from Michael's. They're a buck, and unfinished.
I painted them white, then Mod Podged the paper (Basic Grey) on them.
This is where the magic began!
You mix it with a small, and I mean very small, amount of paint. You brush it on, then wipe it off before it dries. It leaves your project looking old vintage ;)
My husband and kids say they look old, so I guess I did it right ;)
I'm not done with them, and I'm not sure what I'm going to add yet. You can bet it'll be cute though ;) I'll share the pics of the finished products as soon as I finish them.
I have other projects I've finished too, so I will be back this week with more!

I have some little bird houses just like these, but never thought to use scrapbook paper for the roofs, what a great idea! I love the antique look that you gave them too, I need to give it a try. Thanks for the tips. :)
Oh my, how super fabulous. What great papers.
