How to Build a Milk Carton Birdhouse

This project is easy and simple. This is one way to save money instead of having to buy a bird house and it will mean one less tree used to make a bird house.

 Steps

    1
    Paint the milk carton with primer. When it dries, draw the designs of you choosing on the milk carton with the pencil. Make it creative. Do whatever designs you want. Try not to make it too hard because you have to add color to it after.
    2
    Add color by painting the designs different colors. Alternatively, you can leave it white and only color in some parts of it but it might look a bit plain and might not attract the birds.
    3
    Cut out a piece of it on the front. On the top middle of the milk carton you have to cut out a square for the birds to go into. Make it big enough for a robin to get into or if you want to you can make it small for sparrows and mini sized birds only.
    4
    Clean up. Make sure you put dry grass or some fluff for the birds to have a comfortable seat when they move into your custom made bird house!
