When
wrapping WALLIES® around an edge just wet the back, put them

or so to make sure the paste is adhering.

Make a cute little "Vacancy" sign by painting a piece of cardboard,
let dry and write the word "vacancy" in the center. Glue a small piece of twine for a hanger and "hang" on
the birdhouse with a dot of glue.
These Cutouts can make many different designs.

Paint roof a bright green color.
Place Cutouts around birdhouse and on the roof:
