Using the writer tip of the clear Mod Podge Dimensional Magic, apply dimension to the word “discover.” Allow to dry. 4. Add an eye screw at the base of the birdhouse and one at the top for hanging. Using twine, string beads to create a tassel including the acrylic shape and attach to the birdhouse base eye screw. Using white craft glue or hot glue, embellish with assorted buttons.
