Anleitung: Herz-Nistkasten und Herz-Schild mit Serviettentechnik

Would you like to give birds a warm welcome in your garden? Nothing easier than that! With this cute combination in heart design, you're sure to quickly find a spring-loaded lodger.


And it's that easy:

How do you design the nesting box in the shape of a heart?
The nesting box is primed white. For a great shabby effect you can use the wipe technique. Here the brush is used to "wipe" over the house. Some areas are left out

Cut the motif of Napkin with silhouette scissors and carefully loosen the top layer of the Napkin-cut. Brush some Napkin varnish on the wood and place the napkin motif on it. In addition, brush the motif from the inside to the outside with a little Napkin varnish

For the entrance hole, the pattern was placed on Napkin with a border motif in the shape of a heart and transferred. The heart shape is then cut out, the top layer of Napkin is removed and glued over the entrance hole. After the napkin varnish has dried, the entrance hole is cut free. The napkin motives can be bordered afterwards with white Acrylic-colour. Furthermore, the accents of the nesting box can be accentuated with a colour mixture of white and Pink .

How do you design the heart shield?
The hanging band of the heart shield should be removed before processing. Afterwards you can easily prime the shield as well as an aluminium sheet white. Cut the bird motif from the Napkin so that it covers the upper half of the heart. For the lower part, cut Napkin with a bow and glue it in the middle starting with Napkin varnish .

For a nice 3D effect cut out the birds, some butterflies and the loop and glue it on the aluminium sheet. Cut out the sheet according to the motif and emboss it.

Stick the motifs on the metal sheet onto the decorative sign with the hot glue gun. This will give you the typical 3D effect. Finally, you thread the hanging tape again and knot it firmly. The decorative heart-shield is finished.
