One Fancy Birdhouse

This is a birdhouse I made out of discarded items.

  1. Base is a plastic cutting board
  2. Face is a shower head from a hazmat shower
  3. Sides are sample aluminum venetian blinds
  4. Roof is old plastic name tabs for office cubicles

When that was complete, I used more of the blinds samples to identify greenery in my yard. My wife was slowly losing her memory and they helped her.
