DIY Everyday Household items into Birdhouses

[@tinagranados2018]

You are such a pleasure to watch. You’re very helpful and it is apparent that you are very interested and hoping that people are understanding what you’re trying to teach. I truly appreciate it and I will always watch your videos I love them and I know this is terrible to say that I wish you put one out every day. I have always dealt in antiques and upcycling different things but I’m now deciding to actually do it as a business. I really enjoyed watching videos and I have learned a lot on how you have decided what to turn things into what actually makes you money and so forth. Thank you very much for all that you have done during your videos for everyone.

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

Thank you so much Tina❤️. You are too sweet. Glad it’s helping you. I will put out as many videos as I possibly can

[@pdl50]

I love birdhouses and every one of these is just gorgeous. Thank you for taking the time to teach as well as inspire. The gourd looks amazing with your beautiful hand painted flowers and vines! The wine box is fantastic. My problem would be hanging any of these outside because they’re just too pretty.

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

Thank you so much Patricia❤️

[@donnad9278]

I’m obsessed with the Gourd Bird House!!! It is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing the painting technique with us. All of the houses turned out so gorgeous you truly have a talent. May God bless you & your family as well! 🤗🙏🏻

Wow. I've been following you for a while now and everything you make turns out so beautiful. I'm so inspired and have learned so much from you. I am so thankful that you took the time to slow down how you painted the flowers and leaves on the gourd. I feel like I can try for myself now. Thank you for sharing your talents. God bless you

Hi Lisa. You know I love all your bird houses. Really impressed with your free hand painting on the gourd. Looks stunning against the black paint. Have a blessed day.

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

Thank you Paula❤️

[@shellydehart8217]

Making these leaves n flowers remind me of Donna Dewberry. She was big in the late 90tys. I even have one of her books that show you all kind of ways to make different leaves n flowers. Of course practicing I still couldn’t get the hang of it. Sometimes one or two might of been good enough to use. I did a lot of painting on gourds back then. Even did a 4 season

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

Shelly I used to watch Donna years ago as well. That’s how I learned what little I know. 😉

[@christinetremblay2353]

[@shellydehart8217]

Hit that blue arrow by mistake. It was a large gourd that I turned into a lamp. You could turn it to each season. I got lucky n sold it for over $200.00 dollars. Your gourd painted black look so pretty with the stems ,leaves n flowers. It was a knock out. Everything you did was super adorable. Loved the toilet paper holder using those iron handles along with your birds. Your very creative. Love to hear your southern voice. To me it’s very soothing. Don’t know where your from but it’s got to be the south. I was just scrolling through Utube n saw your video n was impressed….. so I’m a newbie subscriber. Have a blessed day. ♥️😊👍
