| Prep Time: Weekend Project | |
| What you need: | |
| Plywood
Wallpaper sample Hot glue gun Wooden birdhouses Fabric Cedar shake Masonite Molding Fake plants Craft board Rope Screws | |
| Seasons: Summer, Year round | |
| Materials: birdhouse, plywood | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  To create a robin, cut out from wallpaper samples and
hot-glue a craft-store nest and eggs next to it. |
| 2. |  For curtain holders, paint two wooden craft-store
birdhouses. Drill holes for the fabric, then screw them to the
window frame. A craft-store bird perches in the entry
hole. |
| 3. |  Use a third birdhouse into a floor lamp by drilling a hole
through the bottom and mounting it on a hollow post made from
narrow boards. |
| 4. | The plywood playhouse is topped with cedar shakes and faced with Masonite. Thin strips of molding staple-gunned together create the illusion of windowpanes , while a wooden window box filled with fake flowers, moss, and ivy adds a welcoming touch. |
| 5. | The swing is made from a craft board purchased at Home Depot, strung on rope, and attached to lag screws drilled through the ceiling into the joists. |
