Birdhouse & Pole

Blue Grape Ivy Garland

4 yds Lavender Sheer Weatherproof ribbon

3 yds Burgundy Sheer Weatherproof ribbon
18" 24 gauge wire

Hot glue gun

Glue Sticks

Spanish Moss

4" Feathered Bird

Instructions:

Attach the birdhouse to the pole and secure with hot glue.

With the birdhouse facing you, take one end of the garland and glue it to the right side of the birdhouse, bringing the rest of the garland up and over the top of the birdhouse. Bring the garland down the left side and continue to wrap around the pole. Where the garland touches the birdhouse secure with glue. Glue the garland to the pole at intervals where the leaves can hide the glue.

With the sheer lavender ribbon make a bow with 4 loops on each side and 1 center loop. Secure with wire. Cut end of ribbon off. Leave enough wire to attach the second ribbon.

Add six large loops of the Burgundy ribbon to the back of the bow, cut end of ribbon off and secure with the same wire.

Fold the remaining ribbon of both colors in half and secure to the bow.

Glue and wire the bow to the underside of the birdhouse on the right side, next to the pole.

Wind some of the ribbon tails loosely around the pole. Curl the remaining tails and allow to hang down.

Glue a small amount of the Spanish moss under the birdhouse to hide the wire and glue from the bow.

Glue a small amount of the Spanish moss to the front left side of the birdhouse.

Glue the bird to the top of the Spanish moss.
