Bird House Ornament


Materials:
Single Serving Milk Carton
Feathers
Scrap Fabric
Shredded Paper or Dried Moss
Pipe Cleaners
Scrap Paper(wrapping paper, construction paper, tissue paper, etc...)
Glue(plain white and colored)
Popsicle Stick


Cut a hole in one side for the entrance to your bird house. Just under the entrance punch a hole with an awl and force the popsicle stick through the hole for a perch. Place a couple of drops of glue around the perch to hold it in. Punch more holes in the top of your carton and thread the pipe cleaner through them to form a hanger. Cover the milk carton with a layer of glue. Cover the glued carton with various torn pieces of paper, fabric scraps and feathers. Make sure to completely cover the outside of the carton. Use the moss or shredded paper for the roof of your house. If you wish before this dries glue a small bird from the craft store to the opening of the house and let dry. Maybe place some butterflies or bees on the roof too. Before you finish run a line of the colored glue around the entrance and let dry.
