this kit is available in Arrow Right kit component pack | instructions only |

A stunning first project from a gifted young designer Thomas Brittain and named for his son - Leo.

Tom has been helping Lorraine on the show circuit for over four years and has become an indispensable member of the Oak Tree Crafts team. Working with beads is a far cry from his physically demanding 'day' job. However, he is constantly fascinated by anything intricate or mechanical and it is from this enquiring mind that he has developed his interest in our work. With Lorraine's encouragement he has let his imagination run loose and designed this fantastic project for us all to enjoy. We hope that it will be the first of many.

Some gluing and painting is required to complete this Project.

Note that this project is presented in our 'Instructions Only' format. This has been done to maximise the opportunities for you to customise the bird house.

For those of you who wish to have all of the parts required to complete the kit (not including glue, needles, paint or tools) then a single 'Kit Pack' option has been provided. For this option note that some of the colours in the pack differ from the sample photograph.

As this project requires a substantial number of Tila Beads then we have created several packs exclusively for this purpose. These can be found at the foot of the page and contain enough Tilas in two colours for one Bird House. Remember you will still need all of the other components for this project - these packs contain only bulk Tila Beads.

In addition, a Findings pack has been created containing all of the small items that can be used in one Bird House.

Note that the wooden mould is an essential part of this project.
