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).
