Bird Houses

I made these little birdhouses a few weeks ago. I originally wanted to place them behind the drink table at my recent party but instead opted for the sad corner of my front porch. I love these little guys although I am a little scared as I read an article a few weeks ago that talked about how bad these little bird houses were for you know, actual birds. I hope that wasps do not decide to make it their home...

I had the kids help in painting them with me. They really had a great time and I wasn't worried about how perfect it was since I was planning on white washing them and making them look old anyways. They sell them for $1 a piece at any local craft store. I bought mine at Joann Fabric.

Finished product. I love them

She's crafty!

I cannot wait till this weekend! I have been doing so many craft projects for my french market theme party that I cannot wait to share. I feel that I can't post any of them now as to not give away too much.
