Red Robin Art Cafe Bird Project

Bring a touch of spring into your home with this charming robin, hand-carved in Traverse City by Shelly Drews. Each piece is individually crafted, making every bird one of a kind with slight variations in size and shape. This project is designed with a hole on the back, so it’s ready to hang on your wall.

If you plan to paint here in person - we will supply paint and brushes for you to complete this project.

Recommended Paint:

• Acrylic paint works best for our wood Art Café Projects.

• We love Folk Art Multi Surface Paints as well as Apple Barrel Multi Surface Paints

Tips:

• Start with a neutral base coat on your project first. The wood absorbs a lot of paint, so laying down one solid layer helps the other colors glide on more smoothly and look more vibrant.

• If you really wanna go all the way, give your project a light sanding after your base coat dries. Focus on the edges and sand off any rough bits of wood left by the band saw.
