Have you seen those cute little birdhouses at the Dollar Tree? They always have a ton of them whenever I go in there. I decided to grab a few on one of my weekly trips. Oops, did I just say that out loud! Yes, I go once a week….don’t judge! You just never know what they are going to have each week, so it’s a must if you wants dibs on all the new goodies!

Let me show you how I gave a few of these Dollar Tree Birdhouses the cutest, little makeovers.

small wood birdhouse and a crystal candlestick holder that will be turned into a cute birdhouse.

There are so many fun ways to decorate these little guys. I decided that I wanted to give mine a French Country vibe.

Let’s get started!

The colors that I am using for the birdhouse are Ivory and Mineral in the Waverly Chalk Paint brand. I gave it a good coat of the Ivory color first. Next, I taped it off to be able to create horizontal stripes.

Waverly chalk paint in the colors Mineral and Ivory used to paint dollar tree birdhouse.

dollar tree birdhouse painted white. Using painters tape to mark tape off lines to add gray paint to it.

The next step was to paint on the gray color.

Dollar Tree birdhouse painted in white and gray stripes sitting on top of a crystal candles stick holder. The top of the birdhouse has metal ribbon glued on top.

It needed a little something on the roof, so I grabbed some metal ribbon. I measured out the length and cut it with a pair of scissors. Starting at the top, I hot glued it on, overlapping a little with each row going down.

I grabbed the candlestick and simply hot glued the birdhouse right on top of it.

To dress it up a little, I took some nautical rope that I got from the Dollar Tree and wrapped it around the base of the candlestick. I added some Floral and Spanish moss to the base of the birdhouse and on the opening to finish it off.
