Supplies:
Clay pot and saucer
Craft paint were using white
Hot glue gun and glue sticks* (you can also use tacky glue, it just takes a little longer to set up.)
Curly raffia
Small decorative birds
1. Paint clay pot and saucer with acrylic craft paint. Let dry
2. Separate a section of curly raffia. That will be the bird nest material.
3. Apply hot glue to bottom of flower pot. Turn saucer upside down and affix pot to saucer.
Turn over and that makes your birdbath.
4.Apply dab of hot glue to pot and affix one end of raffia to glue. Let set. Twist raffia into a nest shape.
5. Glue nest to bottom of saucer.
6. Glue birds onto edge of saucer hot glue small eggs into nest. Glue on any other embellishments.
*Always be careful and err on the side of caution with a hot glue gun as a small child could grab it and pull in down on themselves. Also don't leave it unattended or in a flammable area for a fire hazard; and always be careful not to burn yourself.. been there, done that, not fun.
