Workshop bird's house

Material
  • Piece bamboo Ø 9 mm long 15mm
  • Cheesepricker
  • Thread (brown/black)
  • Some very fine straw (a tuft) (modeltrain-shop)
  • Piece of round wood Ø 15 mm, thick 2 mm

 

Tools
  • Glue
  • X-acto saw
  • Knife/blades
  • Scissors
  • Cutter
  • Drill 2 mm

 

Cutter

Saw the piece bamboo to size and make it hollow.

Make a square hole (1,5 x 1,5 mm) with the knife/blade.

Drill a hole of 2 mm under the entrance and stick a peace of the cheese-pricker in the hole. 

Take a bit of the straws and turn the thread around it in the middle of the straws. (take a good long lenght to cut later on)

Cut the downside in good size and make a tent/roof with the help of the cutter (turn it slowly around in the middle of the straws).

Glue the roof on the bird's house and let dry. Then cut the upside in shape.

Glue the bottom under the house

 

Good luck !

PS Let me know if it works for you !
