Spring Specimen Art

Spring is in the air!  The birds are chirping and the grass is starting to turn green again.  This is one of my favorite seasons.  Although, now I need to get ontop of my spring cleaning.  However, instead of cleaning…I’m playing with my glue gun and a little burlap.  My happy place.

You can find the full instructions for these little cuties over at Inspired Home Style.

Spring Specimen Art ~ Burlap Birds

You won’t believe how easy and frugal they are to make.  If you are into burlap as much as I am, then make sure to check out our simple Coffee Sack Art.  2 simple DIY home decor projects that you can make in a weekend.

    Ooo, this is even cooler than Joseph’s coats! Have I told you that I have a growing obsession with birds and that Mike keeps vetoing everything bird related that I want! Perhaps he’ll let me do something like this. It looks great Tammy!

    P.S. The link at the top isn’t working.

    Saw you on Not Just A Housewife.

    This is great, so glad I clicked over. I couldn’t tell from the thumbnail that the birds are layered! What a wonderful idea. So nice and springy too. 🙂

    Hope you can stop by my little blog sometime and say hello!
