craft stick bird house
 | Craft Stick Bird House
You will need
Craft Sticks, natural or colored
Posterboard Foam sheets or foam pieces for decorating
Hot Glue Gun
Heavy Scissors
String or wire
Acrylic Paint
First, it is best to have a pattern. I used a piece of cardboard for my pattern. I drew out the walls and ceiling the size I wanted( approx 6 small craft sticks for each wall) on to the cardboard. I then cut the pieces out. I drew a line on the sticks, the height I needed and simply cut the sticks with a pair of heavy duty scissors.
After you have cut all your pieces, glue the sticks to the cardboard pattern. To assemble, stand the walls of the house up to each other, run a bead of glue inside, between the walls, attaching them. The roof of the house was done in a similar way, by gluing the sticks to the roof pattern. In order to get a slanted roof, I cut out two small triangular pieces the size I needed. If you can't get the craft sticks as small as you like, due to splintering, just paint the card board the same color you are going to paint the bird house.
Attach the triangle cardboard pieces to the front and back wall of the bird house. Then attach the roof pieces by gluing them to the triangles. Once the birdhouse was assembled, I painted it and added the opening of the house by painting a black circle on the front. I finished up by gluing a piece of raffia to the back for hanging. You could also use wire |

SPRING EASTER EGG (OR BUTTERFLY) ART PROJECT
Cut out a fairly large egg shape or butterfly shape.(about 8x11). Cut 1 inch squares of bright colored tissue paper. Students will plan a pattern and color scheme for their egg. Students will put a square on the egg, wet a paintbrush, then touch the wet paintbrush to the tissue paper square. Lift off the tissue paper and a square of color is left! Repeat until the entire egg is covered. Be sure to cover the work area with newspaper, as the wet tissue paper will discolor table tops.Craft Supplies |
