How to Make a Ball Birdhouse

HOW TO MAKE A BALL BIRDHOUSE – For me, there is nothing better than having birds in the garden and making a birdhouse is a fantastic way of keeping birds active in my garden.  Sure, they can cause a few problems, such as eating seedlings but this is easy to remedy with some bird netting.  The beauty of this particular project is that it is quick and easy to do and will certainly provide the birds in your garden with somewhere to nest.  Take a look above and I am sure once you have viewed  the video you’ll want to start making your own.

There are literally hundreds of different designs of birdhouses you can buy but making your own is far more satisfying and a lot cheaper to boot.  Birdhouses also come in a variety of shapes and sizes but have you ever considered making one in the shape of a ball?

In the video guide below you can learn how to make a Ball Birdhouse just from simply strips of wood veneer and some glue.  There is nothing technical about this project and it is extremely great fun.  This is one of those craft projects that I think you should get your kids involved in so why not grab some wood veneer strips and let your kids have some fun making a birdhouse, this will certainly keep them amused for a few hours and they’ll be able to see the birds taking up residence in no time.

If you do give this a go, then please takes some photographs and show off your creations on Hometipster.com – this way you can inspire others. Simply Register and add your content.

To create your Ball Birdhouse follow the instructions in the video above.  Have fun!

    Hi Graham,
    How clever and unique! I really like this idea and the video was very clear with easy to follow directions. A great project to introduce to children thru various organiztions like our local Community Center. I bet the seniors would like it too. This is on my must-do list.
    Thanks for another great idea, Dee

      Hi Dee
      I have to admit I really like the idea of this birdhouse and it’s not difficult to make. Certainly it would be a great project for anyone with kids.

      I wish I had time as I would love to give this a go. Did you see the Duct Tape Roses? http://hometipster.com/duct-tape-roses/ Another great little idea to brighten the home.

      Thanks
      Graham
