Charming little birdhouse made with used hardback books!!!


Project Ideas for you to try.....
Cute Little Turquoise Bird-Themed Book Birdhouse 
made with Vintage Books

This charming little birdhouse is made with used hardback books which were being discarded from the library. The base of the house is wood which has been decoupaged with pictures of birds, nests, and eggs. The top of the house is the cover of an old hardback book which was cut to form shingles. The house sits atop another hardback book. The base of the house is surrounded by twigs, grapevine, leaves, and tiny yellow flowers. The colours go together beautifully.

These birdhouses are a neat way to repurpose old books that were headed for the dumpster.

Birdhouses make excellent gifts for the book and bird lover in your life, or for yourself of course. They look cute on a book shelf, mantle, or kitchen counter. They are one of a kind and definitely conversation pieces. 
Thanks for looking!
