Craft Birdhouses

This is a craft that my mother-in-law and I made. It uses empty seed packets. Pick 6 of your favorite images for the project. I prefer to use 2 of the same for the roof. We hot glued the packages to a block of Styrofoam. We used 2 packages for the roof. Carefully open the lids to act as an overhang. You can also use a piece of cardboard for the roof.

We also included moss for the space between the roof and sides. For the ledge for the front of the birdhouse, look for items in your garden for the mushroom birds to sit on. Ours used a cinnamon stick. Decorate the top of the birdhouse with snippets of floral items. Enjoy!

I think I would like to try decupodging on wood to make an real birdhouse. Modge Podge makes a weather proof product. Thanks for the idea!

Very, very cute!! I love the seed packets pictures. This is a good craft for seniors and children at school, Girl Scouts or Sunday School classes.

These are so cute! I especially love the fact that you used seed packets. Makes a nice yard/garden ornament or gift for someone. Great idea & they came out wonderful! Thanks for sharing them.

P.S. If anyone is going to put outside; remember to put a water-proof clear coat on them 1st! Wouldn't want them to fall apart!
