Different DIY Styles of Bird Houses for Your Special Garden

 If it's that old school rustic farm and country look you're going for or if you're a more colourful and creative artistic DIY'er, check out these beauty's!

They're sure to spark some great idea's and get your DIY juices flowing! 

                                                                                        
Rustic Look - Incorporate rustic/old items to decorate your bird house and add natural touches by using pine cones, stone/rocks, and sticks. Put your bird pal's rainy day worries at ease with a dry and solid roof by using scrap metal or pieces of old shingles. After a long day of flying around town, your birdie friends would love a shaded landing spot to chill. Think outside the box, use a door hinge as a mini awing over top of the entrance way.

Make it unique! Be creative!
 
Have an old door knob, kitchen cabinet metal handle, or a towel/coat hook? Use it as a unique bird perch. Add decorative and artistic touches by spray painting pine cones or hot gluing pretty coloured pebbles/beads to the base or walls.
*FYI TIP* Try using recycled items like wine bottle corks or bottle caps, old shiny coins and pieces of coloured glass.
Creative & Artistic Look - You may have a detailed and themed style of bird house in mind which could have several detailed and particular pieces included. Are you an outrageous/fearless DIY'er and in love with using bold bright colours that'll give your bird house a pop! Paint your entire bird house a solid striking colour.

*FYI TIP* Make them enjoyable for your bird buds to live in and enjoyable for you!
What about having a hilarious and comical look.
Paint an animal face on the front of your bird house!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                         
Is your garden a magnet for birds?
Upgrade to Bird Condos!

If you're considering increasing the size of your bird houses, check out building larger houses with multiple entrance holes. Of course, more space = more materials. Keep in mind time and budget when upgrading your bird house. 
Maybe using recycled house hold items is a better option for fast and cheap décor!
Endless possibilities!

Apple Crisp

6 apples peeled, cored & cut into slices 1/2 inch thick 3/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup large flake oats 1/2 cup flour 1 tsp  cinnamon 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter Super easy apple crisp! You can top it with any of your favorite treats like ice cream, whipped cream or dream whip, chocolate fudge, caramel, nuts or cherries. Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees F. First thing you're going to want to do is prep your apples. Peel, core, and cut each apple into 1/2 inch thick slices. Combine in another bowl the brown sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon.

Blend your "shredded" butter into the oat & sugar mixture. Place the apple slices into your greased pan and sprinkle on oats.
