Bird house craft

 

Paper bird house.

 

You will need,

scissors, glue, ruler, wall paper samples or pretty paper

 and some card to make the template base.

 

The template size is pretty much each square 5cm x 5cm, 1cm for the glue tabs and 2cm height for the triangle on top of the squares ( hope that makes sense!)

 

 

Fold along the drawn lines and Cut a hole in one of the sides which will make the font of the bird house.

 

I then cut out wallpaper to the size of each side of the bird house and glue them on then glued together.

 

You then need to cut out a rectangle of card for the roof. If you make it 1 1/2cm longer and wider than dimensions of the squares, so this is 5cmx5cm so do the roof 13cm x 8cm.

 

I just cut out a simple bird shape and put a hole in it, then pop a hole in the bird house under the larger hole that you cut out earlier for the opening.

Role up a piece of card and put this through the bird and then in to the bird house.

Enjoy making I did!!

Beautiful paper butterflies

Beautiful Paper Butterflies.

 

 

This is my take on the beautiful Mondocherry butterflies that I see so much of on Pinterest.

I have been lusting over their wonderful array of paper crafts since having my second child and this week I have finally stole some time for my craft and made one.

Start with two butterfly templates of different sizes.
100's can be found to print off  on google.

 

Cut out 9 of each and stick one on top of the other like so.

 

This is what you will end up with. They can be used as any number of crafts at this stage, card toppers, Stick on a plain frame to make it more interesting, I'm sure you get the idea!

 

Mark the paper on which you are going to stick the butterflies, space them out equally and be accurate use a ruler! 

 

Once you have stuck them down you will have your very own pretty as can be butterfly art piece.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be warned these are addictive so you will end up making lots! They are great for presents so all is not lost!

Happy crafting!!
