Spring is in the air, sort of kinda, depending on the day at least. Today I am here to really get you into the spring spirit with a very cute and inexpensive DIY! These adorable miniature birdhouses are a dollar or less with a coupon from your local craft store and they come in a variety of styles to choose from. Let your heart pick its favorite and then get out your paints!
For this bird house I decided that it would look so cute in this Lilly Pulitzer pattern of roses. I first started off by painting a base coat of this blue in the shade skjdfb by sfkbksg. You may need two coats depending on color and quality of the paint. Let them dry completely before moving on to the next step! The other colors I used in this DIY are white by Joann's, candy pink by Joann's, green by Applebarrel, and metallic green by Martha Stewart.

Here's a close up of some of the flowers. Some definitely turned out better than others. To created these flowers all I did was started by putting white circles in every place that I wanted a flower. Once those were dry, I then took a smaller brush and my pink paint and started making half circles of various sizes around the center of each flower. You'll want to continue this process until the white of the circles is barely visible. To add the leaves I took my green paint and made a little almond shape on the side of each flower being sure to create interest by using different sizes.
Here is how the back of the bird house looks. Now don't get me wrong, paint your bird house however you want, but don't forget you can apply this rose technique inspired by Lilly Pulitzer to canvases, walls, and more! I hope you enjoyed this fun and easy Spring DIY! Thanks for stopping by!
