How to Make a Candlestick Birdhouse
Using Dollar Tree Bird Houses!
I had 2 Dollar Tree birdhouses in my stash and decided to use them to make some high-end decor.
Step 1.
I first painted the roof and perch of each with Folk Art Black Metallic paint.
Step 2.
I then painted the eaves and around the bottoms with White Chalk Paint.
Step 3.
On the first birdhouse, I used some of this textured contact paper you can find in my Amazon store for the sides of the birdhouse.
I cut it down to size and smoothed it out with a squeegee.
Step 4.
I removed the excess paper using a fingernail file.
To finish the houses, I applied a layer of matte mod podge to seal and protect the birdhouse.
Step 5.
I ordered a set of 4 candle sticks from Amazon, also in my Amazon store, and painted them with White Chalk paint.
I used one taller candlestick and one shorter one for the birdhouses.
Step 6.
After the paint had dried on the candlesticks, I attached the birdhouse to them with hot glue.
And look at how stinking cute these birdhouses turned out.
Of course, I adore the neutral colors.
What colors will you be using for your candlestick birdhouses? Let me know in the comments.
