Little Chapel Of Love Birdhouse For My Valentine

  • Completed Project:Little Chapel Of Love   Birdhouse For My Valentine Picture #2

Recycled Cardboard + Sheet music = Love
 <  Image 1 of 2  > 

My Winter Craft challenge entry was inspired by the little bronze birdie you see here; I bought him at a thrift shop and he needed a home. All of the sheet music I had was romantic, so that inspired me to make it a valentine, too.

The base is made entirely of corrugated cardboard, covered in sheet music from a German love song (since hubby and I spent so much time there I thought it was appropriate), antiqued and then embellished. When you look inside the hole, there is a heart shaped photo of us and the lyrics "True as the stars above..." The roof is removable, so I can put a battery powered tea light inside so that it lights up the picture. It will also be filled with little love notes, perfect to keep and read later when we get cranky with each other:) There are a bunch of in-progress and detail shots on my flickr if you are interested. Hope you like!
