After making the turkey's apron and the leaf from scallops I came up with this little birdhouse. The scallops are punched from recycled Christmas cards and trimmed across at the 6th bump mark. This means you have a part of the scalloped circle which is flat on one side and 6 scallop bumps at the bottom. The roof paper was cut 1 1/2" x 3", folded in half. Layer scallops with flat end glue to roof till one side is full. Repeat for other side. Hot glue to clay pot and fill in with moss. Add mushroom bird inside. To make the hanger, I used a piece of ribbon and applied it to the paper roof before the scallops were glued down. Add snow paint for looks.
