Makerspace at the Fulton School
Painting a Birdhouse; a PECULIAR project!
At the beginning of the year Alex and I made a list of ideas of makerspace projects we could do. One of the ideas we came up with was to make and paint a birdhouse. We were originally going to make a bird house from scratch while looking for wood to make it we found a bird house that was already made. How peculiar! Any little lad would be so surprised and amazed by what we have in the makerspace! So, we figured we might as well just paint the one we found right away. First, we talked about what we wanted to paint on it. We decided on painting it blue, with sunflowers, grass, and some butterflies. The first step was painting the background of the house blue. We did about three coats of paint and then sketched out the flowers, clouds, grass, and butterflies. Then we painted the flowers and grass. Lastly, we painted the clouds and butterflies. On each item we did multiple coats of paint to make it bolder and more colorful. Overall it was a very fun project and I would enjoy doing it again but actually making the bird house next time.

What a beautifully peculiar project Ella! If mummy was here she would’ve loved the birdhouse. Unfortunately now mummy’s gone 🙁 But it’s still a wonderful painting job!
