Welcome to DAY 5 of the Anthropologie knock off challenge!! I am so excited to be a part of this challenge brought to you by an amazing group of talented bloggers. Every day this week we will each be sharing a project inspired by Anthropologie. Today I am sharing my Bird Book Ends for $6!! I am also featuring knock off designs from my fellow bloggers below, check them out….. simply click the picture to visit their post.
My husband actually helped me with this project… I know.. I know.. I was shocked too. It was either he cut the wood or watch a mid tantrum Scarlett while i visited good ole home depot and asked one of them for help.
This project was super duper easy (especially since I got to sit back and watch the wood be cut and nailed together). Materials include: Bird Figurine, 4 pieces of wood, nails, paint, sand paper (optional) and hot glue.
Step one: Cut wood and nail together to make a basic bookend. The size you cut depends on the size of your figurine.
Step 2: Spray bookends with primer and then paint them
Step 3: Sand the corners and edges of bookends to roughen them up
Step 4: Spray paint your figurines white
Step 5: Hot Glue the birds onto the wood bookends
Last of all make sure the little ones around are having fun and being safe!!
I hope you enjoyed this fun and easy tutorial on how to make gorgeous simple DIY bookends! Have a great weekend!

Sonnet this is so dang cute! I love how easy this would be to customize too - there’s so many animal/color combinations out there. I chuckled when you mentioned your husband helping - I coerced my brother to help out on one of my projects too 😀

Haha Brittany… my husband considers my blog the reason for no dinner cooked at night and huge messes in our house so he is not usually the first person to volunteer to help me with my projects. Having a tantrum toddler as his alternate choice worked nicely
Ever since you posted on your Facebook page your thrift store finds I’ve been wondering what your were going to do with these. Great job they look so good!
