Create a Gorgeous Birdhouse
Imagine transforming a simple milk carton into a beautiful birdhouse, where you can witness the delightful spectacle of birds visiting for a snack. Fill it with birdseed, then sit back and enjoy the flurry of feathered friends gracing your garden.
Remember, to truly appreciate this avian display, you'll need to be very still and quiet. It's a unique opportunity to observe these creatures up close and let them inspire your creativity. After all, nature is the ultimate muse for any artist.
If you don't have a garden, why not take your birdhouse to your favourite park?
Find the perfect tree branch or spot to hang it, and watch as the park's resident birds express their gratitude with their cheerful visits.
Before our art class, there are a few preparations you'll need to make:
Cutting the Door: Cut a small door into the milk carton and a tiny hole just beneath it. This task might require a grown up's assistance, especially for our younger artists.
Supplies Video: I've included a short video with helpful tips about the supplies you'll need. Be sure to watch it before the class to ensure you're ready.
Join me for this delightful project that combines creativity with a love for nature.
Let's make a special place for our feathered friends and find inspiration in the world around us!
