Kitty Birdhouse

It's looking like Friday is becoming birdhouse-Friday. After last weeks rooftop birdhouse to keep the kitties out, I found a pro-kitty birdhouse for sale a Modcloth. I am sure that there are some of you who can easily DIY this cutie! I can't wait to see your results!

DIY Teapot Birdhouse

Do you remember the teapot birdhouse I mentioned two days ago? And do you remember my shopping spree in the second hand shop where I was looking for a teapot? You can guess what I've been up to!

This is the teapot (1.50 €) I bought at the second hand shop. Although I would have preferred a more kitsch one with some gold and flowers this was the only one they had. In the end it did not even turn out to be such a bad choice.

When I finally figured out how to operate my Christmas present Dremel (thanks Tom < 3) I drilled a hole in the bottom with a diamond bit. At first the drilling didn't go so well (it sounded like the dentist), but then I remembered reading somewhere that you should add a little water to the porcelain surface you are drilling, and it flew through. 

At around 2.5 m we had a lonely and useless peg in the wall outside that looked perfect for the new birdhouse. With a little wiggling and enlarging the hole it even fit! And look how cute it is (the fake bird (aka geocache) for the pictures was Toms brilliant idea)!!!

Teapot Birdhouse

Everyone knows I'm a tea drinker and tea paraphernalia lover pure sang, that's why I instantly fell in love with this teapot birdhouse. It would fit so snugly with the teacup bird-feeders we made a couple of weeks ago! It looks like a great DIY, by mounting it to a wall it's out of reach of all kitties, reusing the lid as a roof keeps the rain out, and the spout is great for keeping it dry. We're surly going to try this out!

Birdhouse cookies!

Ooh look! Birdhouse cookies! They look like such a good idea, and so cute! Planning to make these very very soon!

Rooftop Birdhouse

I found this in my pictures file! It sounds like such a nice and space-efficient way to have a birdhouse. The only problem I can imagine is the cleaning out. I'm really not prepared to climb on the roof to clean it out, far to high!
