DIY Love Bird Ornament

Time for day 2 of Craft Lightning. All week 30 Minute Crafts and I are sharing crafts that can be completed in 15 minutes or less (excluding dry time). Every morning there will be a new craft and every afternoon there will be a quick craft round up from great bloggers that are joining us. You can also link up YOUR quick craft at our linky party for a chance at a feature everyday this week. I am sharing another ornament with y’all today. My love bird ornament would be great on your tree or to give as a gift.

Some links in this post may be affiliate links. I bought a pre-cut wood shape from Walmart for this project. You can click here to get the same one on Amazon. I coated the entire thing front and back with a silver metallic paint.

I then used some dimensional fabric paint from Tulip in white metallic. Yes it is for fabric but trust me it worked fine on the Christmas ornament and I love the effect.

I outlined the entire bird and wing with the dimensional paint.

I used some small stamps and Staz-on ink to stamp “love” on the wing. Staz-On is my go to ink when you really want it to stay on! I actually stamped while the dimensional paint was still wet. I then set the entire thing aside to dry.

After your project is dry, punch or drill a hole and add a ribbon to hang. So simple yet elegant. I love that metallic sparkle!

If you like this one, you might also like this burlap bird ornament.

Or you can let the kids in on the fun and make these cinnamon applesauce ornaments from Mad in Crafts.

Hi Angie – do you have the link to where you ordered the bird cutouts? I am looking for something EXACTLY like this for my wedding and am having an impossible time! I had thought it would be so much easier?!

They were actually in the Walmart craft section. They were made by Plaid if that helps any.
