Birds's house

Easter is usually around Spring time and decoration's are related to one another, the egg symbolizing new lifes coming, small birds in the nest waiting to learn how to fly, bunnies... everything blooming in colors and green from the new leaves.

So I made a bird's house with carton to decorate the living room:

This is what I used, looks like a lot but it really isn't:

1. I put a small card box together but I could also have used one that wasn't dissembled yet, mine was around 15 x 15 x 15 cm. 
2. I've cut the box (scissors) in half so it's not too deep.
3. I've cut the top off and made the roof with another piece of card. This piece has to be longer than the top so you can make a gabled roof. I fixed the roof with glue and staples (stampler)
4. I've cut stripes of colored paper with a zig-zag scissors to decorate the house. I used colored paper from envelopes (letters from the tax office come in envelopes that are pink inside and letters from the city hall come in envelopes that are grey inside, how about that?) 
5. I drew a little bird on a card, I picked a yellow cereal box, and cut it off.
6. I've glued the bird on the straw and the straw on the sides of the bird's house at mid height.
7. I've made a bow with a ribbon on top so I can also hang it if I want.
8. I've covered a table with brown paper as a base and used green sand on it (like if it was grass on the fields), with my finger I drew a road  on the sand. I had made the flowers in September already and reused them here.

And that was it. It takes around 20 minutes tops to make this project, it took me long to select the materials and draw the bird, but execution is easy and fast.
