Instructions
Step 1
Draw a heart on cardboard. For a start, the craft can be small, about 10 by 15 centimeters. Cut the heart out of cardboard. For the walls of the birdhouse, cut 4 rectangles out of cardboard.
Step 2
Fold a square out of cardboard rectangles. Grease the ends of the square with glue and stick to the center of the heart. Wait for the glue to dry and proceed to the next step.
Step 3
You need to create the volume of the heart with the help of a newspaper. Roll the newspaper into a lump, substitute it to the heart between the side of the square and the edge. Make sure that the paper does not go beyond the contours of the heart. Stick it on.
Step 4
Newspaper balls twisted in this way are attached around the entire perimeter of the heart, The remaining space is filled with the same, but smaller balls.
Step 5
To give the heart a clearer shape, drag the newspaper balls with tape. It is necessary to close up the whole heart with tape completely, wrapping it from left to right and from top to bottom. The square-box in the center is not glued.
Step 6
Now the heart needs to be made softer, for this it is covered with cotton pads. At the same time, the box remains empty.
Step 7
Cotton pads are fixed to the heart with threads, not glue, so that the transitions between the circles are not visible.
Step 8
Paint the workpiece with brown acrylic paint with a brush. You can not paint the heart on the back side, but cut another one out of cardboard and glue it.
Step 9
Make decorative sides of the bird house from ice cream sticks or plywood and glue. Of these, if you wish, you can make a door for the house.
Step 10
Decorate the heart with coffee beans, carefully placing them on glue and spreading them over the surface. Decorate the heart with beads, artificial flowers.
