How to Make Bird Bookends
Step 1: Paint bookends with craft paint
If you want to change the color of your bookends before adding the bird pictures, you can paint them with acrylic craft paint. I choose white paint for my bookends so that the birds would really pop!
Step 2: Cut out bird images
Now for the fun part! Pick your favorite bird images to decorate your bookends. I cut out pictures from a magazine. But any bird photos or drawings would work! I cut the images as close to the birds as possible to make them look realistic.
Step 3: Apply to bookends with Mod Podge
Decide the placement of your birds on the bookends. Then using a foam brush apply a thin coat of Mod Podge to the back of a bird images and smooth onto the bookend.
Step 4: Seal with Mod Podge
Add an even coat of Mod Podge to cover the bird image and the entire front of the bookends for a consistent finish. Let dry completely. Repeat by adding images to the sides of the bookends.
