Directions:

• Paint the base of the birdhouse, the ridge, and the underside of the roof with acrylic paint.

• Remove the perch from the birdhouse.
• Paint the birdhouse perch with coordinating acrylic paint.

• I purposely choose a birdhouse with a simple roofline. 
• Measure and cut a piece of decorative scrapbook paper for the roof.  
• Place the paper into the 3″ Xyron Disposable Sticker Maker* design side up and gently pull it through. As the scrapbook paper goes through the sticker maker, it adds a layer of adhesive under the paper.
• Rub and peel the protective coating from the paper. Place onto the top of the birdhouse. Rub over the paper to ensure that it is securely attached to the wood.

• Create a template for cutting the paper. Lay a piece of copy paper with the point in the top corner of the birdhouse. Gently fold over the edges of the copy paper to make a crease line or use a pencil to trace around the edge.  
• Cut out the template.

• It’s a good idea to lay the template onto the birdhouse to double-check the size.
• Use the template and trace onto decorative scrapbook paper.  Cut along traced lines.
• Place the paper into the 3″ Xyron Disposable Sticker Maker* design side up and gently pull it through.
• Measure and repeat for all four sides.

• Cut around the center hole and smooth using a nail file.
• Re-poke the perch hole and reinsert the perch.

• Add cute little word stickers to embellish the birdhouse.

Here are a few more Mini Birdhouses I created for Xyron last year.

They are so fun to make and decorate.

I made this one using a large wood birdhouse picked up at Michael’s Craft Store.

I covered it with paper from Echo Park’s Farmhouse Market Collection.
