Initially I made the Base of the BirdHouse for that I used 9 sticks and lined them together and taped them all.

Then I used 2 sticks lined them together at 90degree and glued it, make 5 pairs. 4pair would be used as pillars and the 5th pair would be used to join the roof.

To make roof I took 10 sticks and lined them together and taped them as shown the picture.

Also I created some room so that I can place food for the Birds. Take 3 sticks cut them in Half and glue at the Base of the BirdHouse

In this Final Stage, Glue the roof to the structure of the BirdHouse. I was having some place plastic sheet(optional) lying around so I used it as a placeholder for Bird Food. Now attach any string to the BirdHouse which goes under the roof.

Now place some shredded leaves inside your BirdHouse. To give it a nice touch I made a small Bird with eggs out of clay as it is windy and raining outside I would be using by BirdHouse indoor for decoration only.

Thank You!!
