Bird Bowl Tower
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...![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQOysBd2j6N_xWpXd7OoWnRZkOniZaPsrQdjm-qhCOSBAe2ncwFReeCnlekB0kP9lo37BX9Abm7g8G7kn7i3vhqKqqb2mGxC8sBZZeCHV-IB1Ce7fMU0q6YyKbFPu9HlXiqpmMKnPXIao/s320/PICT4710.JPG)

WAY cute! I also liked your apothecary jars you made--very awesome. Do you like that E6000 glue? My mom has started recommending it for every thing I need glueing--she just discovered it and I get lots of broken things that need glueing. (Did I spell that right?)
I think this is my favortie thing you've posted thus far!! How adorable! You're such a genius with these things.

So pretty! You had a vision from the beginning you can tell and it looks beautiful. That color is awesome.
Super super CUTE! I would never have guessed those pieces of uh hum...treasure...could turn out so beautiful! Great job!
That is adorable. My best friend would love that. I wonder if I can find those pieces before the end of the month which is when her birthday is. LOL!
