Reading is for the Birds!
Welcome to my birdhouse experiment. I have a lot of extra vintage children's book and I was wondering what to do with them. Well, I might have found a fun solution.

I gave the book about 5 coats of polyurethane. It should hold up for a while outdoors. I cut up pressed tin pieces from a vintage metal dollhouse. I used a piece of metal awning for the roof and used some of the hammed copper spray paint. It turned out really well. The skeleton is cedar board painted and hand sanded.
I plan to put outside on the fence to see what happens and who makes it a home. Unless everyone finds it a "hit" and I'll put it on Etsy. Anyway, I hope y'alll enjoy it.
This great birdhouse is ready to go and can be yours in my Etsy Shop (HERE).
