Outdoor Decorating – birdhouse DIY

For this project, I am delighted to be partnering with Outspiration to take crafting outdoors for a change and try two options for decorating some plain store bought wooden birdhouses. Pretty birdies deserve pretty houses right! Before trying the painting option I had to first get a desire to decorate the first birdhouse with my pyrography set out of my system. Into the wood I etched an inspirational message for the birdies and on the sides some gorgeous flowers. For the painted option I went with signature MollyMoo polkadots. You can never have enough polka dots in your life!

There is nothing I love more than to see Molly sprawled across the floor doodling away with paper and pencils in hand. Usually she draws in miniature, with ooodles of delicious detail, but last weekend she very uniquely created full page boy and girl characters, the perfect characters for kid made puppets. This guy she named "tom" :)
