Birdhouse

Supplies

• 1 cardboard milk or orange juice carton
• String
• Twig (for bird perch)
• Brown paint
• Safety scissors
• Stapler
• Hole punch
• Paint brush
• Pencil

Instructions

1. Staple the top of the cardboard milk or orange juice carton shut.  Make sure it is tightly closed.
2. Using safety scissors, cut a hole in the side of the carton to make a doorway for the birds.
3. Using a pencil, poke holes in either side of the carton. 
4. Push the twig through both holes to create a perch for the birds.
5. Poke some holes in the bottom of the carton to allow water to drain out.
6. Paint your birdhouse using the brown paint so it resembles bark from a tree.
7. When the paint is dry, use the hole punch to make a hole in the top of the carton.
8. Thread a piece of string through the hole and hang your birdhouse in an open spot outside.
