Materials
- Dollar Tree 14 inch Wire Wreath Form
- 2 Dollar Tree Winter Garland Greenery
- Dollar Tree Wooden Birdhouse
- Waverly Ink Chalk Paint or any black paint you have on hand
- Waverly White Chalk Paint or any white paint you have on hand
- Dollar Tree Berry Pick
- Dollar Tree Winter Pick with Red Cardinal
Instructions
- Start by wrapping the garland around the wire wreath form. To attach it in the beginning, I just wrapped one small section around one of the wires to secure it. Continue wrapping until you have wrapped the entire wreath form. I used 2.5 garlands.
- Using white chalk paint, paint the front, sides, and bottom of the birdhouse. Then paint the roof with the black chalk paint. I did two coats of paint
- Next using wire cutters, I cut small sections of the red berries off and then placed them how I wanted before I added the hot glue to them. Then using the hot glue, add a dab to the backside of the berries and then press firmly onto the garland.
- I added a thick line of hot glue to the bottom section of the birdhouse that would then attach it to the garland on the wreath. Press down firmly. I then removed the cardinal from the winter pick and hot glued it to the house with just a dab of glue and then added the frosted section of berries from that pick to the side of the birdhouse with some hot glue.
