Patriotic Bird House Tutorial

Have you seen the new Patriotic Birdhouses in Lori’s SVG shop and in her Silhouette Store Gallery?

 

Today I’m featuring the 3D Birdhouse with Stand Patriotic File (SVG,Silhouette)  I put together a quick tutorial for you.

1. First, cut out all the pieces of the Birdhouse:

2. Next, glue all the roof layers starting with the biggest piece and stacking and adhering each smaller piece on top of it.

3. Adhere the star to the birdhouse door.

4. Fold the tabs on the body of the birdhouse, and fold to form and glue.  All tabs are folded in the same direction.

4. Glue the bird pieces together.  Black piece is the back, the light piece in the middle, and the blue piece on top with the wing.

5. Fold the base pieces and glue the tabs together.  These form a little box that will hold the post.

6. Fold and adhere the post.

7. Use glue or glue dot to attach the bird to the front of the birdhouse.  Stick the post into the base and glue. And stick the birdhouse onto the post and glue.

It is such a fun birdhouse to add to your décor for the summer!

Have a great day!

1776 Shadow Box Tutorial

The 4th of July is approaching.  Do you love decorating with red, white, and blue? Today I’m sharing Lori’s 1776 Decor Shadow Box (SVG, Silhouette).  You can sing along to Hamilton lyrics while making this fun project.

To assemble, first cut all the pieces.

Next, adhere the decorative panel to the front frame and also adhere the stripes to the 1776.  I recommend starting with the top stripe, next the bottom stripe. Then place the second stripe parts on the number 6, and line up the other number stripes with that one.  This will help everything line up correctly.

You then want to glue the front and back panels together to form the “box”, and finally insert the 1776 panel into the frame, inserting the tabs on this piece through the slots in the “box”.

This will look lovely alone or as part of your patriotic decor!

Have a great day!
