Out of a Hat Challenge 72

Hello to everyone who drops by Jumbled Crafts today. I hope you enjoy what you find here and will say hello if you have time.

This time at Out of a Hat the theme is Things beginning with B.


Well I indulged my passion for beach huts and made this one from a bird house that I bought for £1 at our local store in town-it isn't a Poundland store but everything they sell is £1.



original bird box.

First thing to do was removed the perch and then it was painted red and left to dry. To make the stripes I used sticky tape. The door is made from card and coloured to match.- and the ring was on a wind chime from the Life Boat shop. I know the fencing looks a bit O.T.T but I have had these die cuts for ages as I got them in a swap. The decoration on the roof edge I made with some fancy scissors. Now for the difficult bit--the STEPS! I found them a nightmare to make the ones in the picture were about my sixth attempt. How difficult can it be to stick together four small pieces of card at the right angles?--answer VERY!

Hope you will visit Sandra-Sam and Janet to see what they have made for the challenge

I am also going to show this at Altered Eclectics where they have the monthly theme of anything goes.

See you again I hope-enjoy your day.

Love Chrissie xx
