Peachy Challenge 03: Paper Roll

     Hi there my crafty friend, nice to see you again. I haven't blogged all week because I just haven't been feeling well for a couple weeks now. I think I am starting to feel better though, finally, YAY! :)  I have been busy working on a project for the new Peachy Keen Challenge. We were free to create anything we wanted using a toilet paper roll. I have never used one for crafts but I did use paper towel rolls before, although I can't remember what I made with them LOL that was yrs ago.
     My new PK stamps came in the mail last Friday so of course I wanted to use them on my project. I planned out several different projects before I actually decided on one. My original plan was to make a tree but couldn't decide what kind. I finally gave up on the tree idea and decided to make a bird house instead, then I can hang it in a tree, LOL!

I started out with a toilet paper roll, a pretty kleenex and the first two of three spellbinders classic circles :) I opened the kleenex and cut it in half along the centre crease. It was the perfect length to cover the TP roll, but a little long. One of the hearts was in the centre at the front so I cut it out with my Xacto knife and outlined with gems.

The making of the picket fence using a white floral wire cut in half, and small strips of paper with the tips cut. I used two strips per picket, glued to each other on either side of the wire to hold the wire in place.

The circle wasn't wide enough after cutting and gluing it for the roof so I glued two rows of hearts around the edge also used three sizes of scalloped circles on top of them. Floral wire and beads were used for the hanger.

 I used my new PK-M11 Winter is for the birds stamp for the three lower birds. I made hats to match their scarves to hide the holly image on it's head. :)

 For the upper bird I used my PK-268 Happy Mother's Day set and added a hat as well. I used a piece of acryllic pkging to make the bird look like she is "flying". For the perches I used a skewer, painted white and glued gems to the ends. 

The home tweet home sign is glued to the wire with a pink heart glued to either side of the wire, and the white one glued on top, divided by different beads.
