Picture of The Stick of Destiny
At this point, I had a decision to make: shove the birds in a drawer or actually turn them into décor. I chose ambition. We found a driftwood stick we picked up at the beach months ago because we are those people. (The kind who bring sticks home and say “it’s for a project.”) If you’re not a stick-hoarder, any old branch will do. Just pretend it has sentimental value—it adds to the charm. To keep the birds from falling off dramatically, I tapped in tiny nails as bumpers. Then I burned half my fingers with hot glue and stuck each bird down with love and silent cursing.
