Today I'm bringing bird houses to Good Morning, Texas. They asked-I got to work. First up is the one above using a preformed bird house I attached wine corks too. A bird bar. Here is the
full tutorial for that. I don't drink, I'm not a fan, but....I am fascinated by wine corks-I bought these on etsy.
I do love a good recycled project, in this case-I found a pink pan at the thrift store for a few bucks and put this little gal together.
Here is that tutorial.
Last up, a true recycled project-I took a coke bottle and painted it. I just used acrylic paint on the outside (so none would chip off an affect any next that were built here). You could use the full bottled, but I cut mine down into two pieces. I sprayed it with some water resistant spray. I used and blade to cut out the hole. The size of your hole determines the size of your bird family. I also read to place brighter houses near gardens, and more natural colors if they are just in a tree so you don't advertise to the enemy (aka, the cat) where they can find a tasty snack. How high you hang your house also matters.
Here's a link on about.com I found. The full step by step video should be posted on my
facebook page later.
