Combining Projects • Funky Birdhouses

I did two specific projects in April and it wasn't until June that I considered combining them.  Remember my Silhouette paper birdhouses? I constructed a entire community of them. And then a day later I blogged about my wheat grass centerpiece here. Well yesterday, I combined the two!

I was going to discard the wheat grass because it had gotten decidedly funky - kind of like a very bad hair day. But then I was uploading my birdhouse cutting patterns to the Silhouette Online store and I thought, "How about.....?"

I took some bamboo sticks from the garden shed, cut little x's in the bottom of the birdhouses, inserted the sticks up through the center and arranged them in the grass. Easy!

And now I have a new centerpiece adding June like color to my woodbox, which is closed for the summer season!

Get the pattern:

I have just uploaded the files for four of the birdhouses to the Silhouette Online Store.  You can get the following:

• Heart Bird House here.
• Double Decker Bird House here.
• Rounded Bottom Bird house here.
• Scalloped Edge Birdhouse here.
