I've been working on a few gifts for family.... painted birdhouse gourds!
I painted some with my family earlier this fall (check them out here), but this time I got my husband to drill holes in them so that they can be used for actual birdhouses.
With a little acrylic paint and a final coat of polyurethane, I think they turned out quite nicely :)
These are so cool! ^^ I love the designs you used and the colors you chose!
ReplyDeleteWow, they are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty! Did you grow the gourds yourself? How long do they have to sit to be dry enough to make into a birdhouse? You did a great job painting them!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and eyecatching! I would love to receive a handmade gift like this-hope your family loves them!
