Bright Star Kids Bird House Wall Stickers: Review and Giveaway
Sep 03
*** This giveaway has now closed. Congratulations to the lucky winner, Kristy Thompson! ***
When I fell pregnant with Lucy, we knew we would need to do some extensions to be able to accomodate our growing family. We decided to put the big girls in to a shared room, and it was SO MUCH fun to be able to design it from scratch – choosing paint colours, furniture and all the little girly trimmings I could find!
We don’t do things quickly in this house, so I have only JUST bought the last piece of furniture for the room, and so had to have a final little re-shuffle to make everything fit (which is why the bookcase contents haven’t been arranged yet!). The trouble was that we had a glaringly obvious blank wall that was just calling out for some loving. And I found the perfect solution!
Bright Star Kids are well known for their excellent quality name labels (which I reviewed HERE), however they also have the most gorgeous collection of wall stickers which add colour, personality and fun to any room. Given that it is finally Spring, I thought the perfect way to bring some life to the blank wall would be with some cute and cheerful birds and birdhouses.
The first thing to do is measure up to make sure it will fit! When the set arrives it comes in pieces so you can choose to either build it how you like, or follow the picture example to get it just like the illustration. I accept that I missed out on the creative gene, so there was no way I was going to mess with it!
To make sure I was getting my positioning right, I cut out the main branches and stuck them to the wall with blutac, moving and re-positioning them until I found a spot that looked right, and also gave plenty of space for the leaves and birdhouses to be added.
Then it was simply a matter of carefully peeling off the backing paper and sticking each piece to the wall, using the completed picture as a guide.
The stickers themselves are made of a fabric material which sticks to virtually any smooth surface. Unlike some stickers which strip the paint from the wall when you remove them, the Bright Star Kids wall stickers come off cleanly and leave no sticky residue. This makes it much less stressful to put the stickers up because you can simply remove and re-apply if you make a mistake. But it also means that my hubby’s beautiful painting won’t be ruined when the girls want to re-arrange their furniture, or change the look of their room by placing the stickers in different positions (or even handing them down to Lucy for her room!)
I used a felt squeegee to apply the stickers which smoothed out any little bumps or wrinkles, and it gave a great finish.
It took about 30 minutes to apply the complete set, and the results are just spectacular. It makes such a huge difference to this blank corner, and the little birds look like they are fluttering around in the room!
The Bird House Wall Stickers are new to the wall sticker range, and they co-ordinate beautifully with the Owl Wall Stickers. For just $49.95 you get one large sheet that contains 57 individually cut stickers including the birds, leaves and bird houses. The total wall space required is approximately 1m x 63cm.

I love the Construction Trucks wall stickers. Not only are they bright and colouful but my little man is obssessed with them which makes these a perfect choice!
The owl wall decals are divine!!!!
These are great for renters. You can personalise a kids room without ruining the walls
My daughter has decided when we tackle the bedroom re-vamp over the holidays she wants a garden theme, what better way to add some colour than through Bright Star stickers and the bird house would be perfect.
I’m a sucker for owl. I love the one with the three owls. So cute.
Now I wish I had a twitter account!
I love the spring tree design!
The stickers are such a good idea. The cheeky monkey set is particularly cute!
I’m in love with the Princess Chandelier, ever so cute
I would love to have the Owl stickers. They are so adorable!
I have boys, so the Sky High wall decals would be perfect for them, and with a new bub arriving any day now we also need to renovate and will eventually be putting the boys in a shared room as well – this would be a fantastic way to brighten up their new room!
The jungle wall stickers look amazing, the kid would love them!
My 3 year old would love these to brighten his room!! Our favourite has to be the Giant Tree maybe could even get a swing in his room!!
I think the owl wall stickers would look great in my daughters room!

I love the Princess Chandelier wall stickers!!!! Looooooove!
My daughter would love the cheeky monkey wall stickers, its like looking into her own reflection coz she is my cheeky little princess!
My miss 6 is photograph mad, both taking and displaying. I think the Photo Frame Wall Stickers would be just perfect for her (as well as a great present for several of her friends) and mean i no longer need to remove sticky tape or blue tack from the walls.
I love the rainbow bird design, but all children love baby animals, so a range that includes a mixture of duckling, chicken, puppy’s and kitten’s
My big boy is off to “BIG SCHOOL” next year so the Times Table Charts would be a welcomed gift to our household to help with the many, many, many gruelling school years ahead!
The BUTTERFLY WALL STICKERS are beautiful.
Oh Wow – there are so many gorgeous designs. I would love the ‘Jungle’ wall stickers. We have just moved house this weekend and it would be great to brighten up Miss M’s new playroom wall
The Owl wall stickers would match my little girls room.

I love the bird house and the groovy flower ones. With our second baby due in November we will be revamping my daughter’s room and moving furniture around.. New bed for her so the baby can take the cot etc etc so the stickers would be perfect. In love with them!!!
My little boy would love the jungle animals, he loves anything with animals!

hoot hoot Owls.
The pattern birds on a wire looks whimsical =)
Love the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star stickers, too.
These wall stickers all look great. It would be a toss up between Babushka Dolls, Height chart, cowboys and Indians, monkeys or small fairies! I can’t decide they all look good. It’s also great to see so many pretty designs and loads of boyish designs which all look like great quality. They look like they won’t peel off the wall like others I have bought from eBay.
Thanks for the review.
Owl decals are a hoot!
There are so many great designs! I think I would go with the Groovy Flower Wall Stickers for our daughters room however I am sure one of our sons would argue they would look great in his room also haha!
they are all so gorgeous
cán’t decide as I know the kids would each want a set of their own
