TIPS
Because WALLIES® are made from a vinyl coated paper, we don't recommend that they be used for decorating your outside birdhouses. They are fine on covered porches though!

a) Blue Willow Birdhouse

Paint body of birdhouse blue.

Paint roof white.

Decorate with:

NOTE: The Blue Willow Bouquet design has been discontinued. Please check other floral designs in our All In Bloom category.

 

b) Summer Garden Birdhouse

Paint body of birdhouse a cream color.

Paint edges of roof a dark rust or green.

Paint a wash of rust over the cream color after it has dried.

Decorate with:


12905 Pfaltzgraff™ Summer Garden WALLIES® Cutouts

c) Fences with Ivy Birdhouse

Prime your birdhouse with a dark rust color.

Cover top with:


12017 Ivy Leaf WALLIES® Cutouts

When wrapping WALLIES® around an edge just wet the back, put them on and wrap around the corner. Hold in position for 5 seconds or so to make sure the paste is adhering.

Wrap around the bottom edge:


12081 Picket Fence WALLIES® Cutouts

Put on a few:


12100 Hummingbird WALLIES® Cutouts

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.

d) Mary Engelbreit® Cottage Rose Birdhouse

Paint birdhouse a deep rust or deep pink color.

Paint roof a bright green color.

Place Cutouts around birdhouse and on the roof:


12908 Mary Engelbreit® Cottage Rose WALLIES® Cutouts

Using salmon, lavender and yellow paint, you can paint your own small cottage roses on the edge of the roof. This is very easy to do! Try it! Use a fine line permanent marker for the black lines.
