Dollar Tree Bird Makeover

I finally found some of those cute little birds at Dollar Tree for $1 each! Birds sing spring to me and I have spring fever.

The only problem is, my Dollar Tree only had the gold birdie and I really didn't like the color.



So I decided to give her a makeover and dry brushed her with some #320 Jamaican Sea Folk Art paint by Plaid. I LOVE Plaid's Folk Art acrylic paints for this technique.



What a difference paint can make! Now she needs a nest.

  5. Nice! It's amazing how using your creativity not only yields really cool results, but also saves money :) There really isn't a hint that the bird was originally gold.

    CouponWebz saving money is the name of the game around here. lol Trying to duplicate high dollar designers is fun when you can accomplish it and keep your money in your pocket.
