The website Trash 2 Treasure is my new obsession. She has so many cute things in her store. After one of my many trips to this website, I found something I had to make. So on one of my many DI trips, I picked up everything I needed: a bottom piece, a middle piece and a bowl- all out of wood.

First thing first I used my E-6000 glue to glue all the pieces together like so:

and let the glue dry overnight. Then I sanded all the pieces.

Picked the color of paint I wanted (Americana brand Bahama Blue.)

I first painted the wood white to prime it.

Then I painted it my blue color.

I then sanded some areas and rubbed walnut stain all over to give it an aged look.

Finally I was able to add some moss, a little birdie and three little eggs that are actually gum...



So cute, If I may say so myself...
