Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Brightly painted and often nonfunctional, birdhouses are a recent craze in the world of country crafts. They sometimes command relatively high prices, so it is practical to buy unfinished houses and paint them. This book contains projects similar to those in Egan's previous book, Painting and Decorating Birdhouses (North Light, 1997) and includes birdhouses decorated as churches, schools, shops, and Halloween haunted houses. Each project has a complete list of materials and illustrated step-by-step instructions. This is certain to be a hit in public library craft collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Idea-filled Book, August 13, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Quaint Birdhouses You Can Paint and Decorate (Paperback)
This is a fun book if you would like to learn about lots of different techniques for painting and decorating birdhouses. The focus is on pre-built, un-finished birdhouses that would be used primarily for indoor use. The author has divided her book into city houses and country houses, and has included some cute seasonal decorating ideas as well.

This review is from: Quaint Birdhouses You Can Paint and Decorate (Paperback)
I love this book, so much so i'm buying a similar one by the same author. There are lots of pictures and she shows how to do some simple and creative things which add depth, texture and interest. Easy to follow and easy to imagine your own ideas. And a beginner can easily find projects here to do.
