Pattie's Pointer:
This project is for decorative use, not to be placed outside. If you desire to use it as a functional birdhouse; omit the pompom, and spray 3 protective layers of clear coat, letting it dry thoroughly.

Steps:
1. Cut tissue to fit panels in the sides and roof of the birdhouse. Glue to birdhouse, to cover the entire project. Add a layer of glue on top of the tissue as you glue it on. Let dry.
2. Accent the edges of the birdhouse with paint pen by running the tip down the edges in a straight line, using a ruler if necessary.
3. Stamp the word 'Amore' in several places in a random pattern.
4. Glue a row of overlapping buttons around the bottom edge of the roof.
5. Create a 2-inch pompom with the PattieWack PomPom Tool, using coordinating yarn & fibers. Glue to the top point of the birdhouse.
