Glittery Birdhouse Ornament

Today I’m sharing some fun and festive Glittery Birdhouse Ornaments you can make for your tree.
I made two different kinds of birdhouse ornaments for my tree. If you’re new here this is our small 4 foot tree that is in our dining room and we have a bigger Red and White festive tree in our Living room and I’ll share a lot of pictures of that next week but if you need a sneak peek it’s on there is one on my Christmas Wreath Ice Skate post from yesterday.
If you’ve been following along I found 4 little bird houses at a Thrift Store for $.95 cents each and they were new and unpainted and I shared them on Tuesday Treasures. I also thought I would be fun to make some music note paper bird house ornaments and embellish them.
I made these with construction paper, music note paper and some crystals I had and I have a tutorial below which is super easy.
I love the grooves in this guy and thought it would be fun to add glitter in that stripe pattern.
I’ve never had a neutral tree and I really do love it. I honestly did this on such a budget. I found this new faux tree at a thrift store for $10 but you can get them new at Target or Kmart for $20-$25. I made the Burlap Poinsettia flowers and share those here. I bought the glittery JOY, Deer and Trees at the Dollar Tree and the white snowflakes at Target. You can decorate your tree beautifully with things you love and a little paper, fabric and glitter goes a long way right. HA!!!
Now if you want to see the step by step tutorial, come on over to the blog for ever step on both birdhouse ornaments. Just click the link below.
I love music note pages so I thought it would be fun to use some of this on the houses. I used tea to tea dye the paper just to give it a little bit of an aged look. You don’t want to leave it in here too long or the paper will tear apart. Then I put the paper on paper towels to dry.
I used mod podge to glue the music note pages to thick construction paper.
Then I remembered I had some crystals on this melted candle thing I ruined a while back and I knew they would come in handy someday.
I love the way they turned out and they cost me $4 to make as I had the rest of the supplies. Come on over to the blog for the full tutorial. Tree
