I’ve been kicking this idea around for a while.
Every where I go I see birdhouses of different shapes
and sizes. Most are some part of décor made for indoor
use. With this in mind I started to try and figure out what
scale to use and what size an actual birdhouse is. Realizing
it doesn’t matter as long as it’s proportionate I remembered
an N scale house I had designed that has a module that
would work just fine with a little editing. Designed
In Photo Shop it was easy to turn off layers containing
windows, doors and etc., add an entrance hole and stretch
the roof detail for overhang in front and back.
After assembly I add a perch made from a toothpick
inserted through a small hole and glued to the inside back.
The shepherd’s hook is made of floral wire formed around
the top of a spray adhesive can. The bottom can be left long for flower pots/floral arrangements or bent into a base as a stand. The hanger is also made from the same wire and catches under the over hang. Could be mounted on a bamboo skewer inserted through bottom and glued to
inside top.
These are fun and easy to make, can be made from any
Heavy paper and decorated to your taste. Have fun and enjoy.
Measurements are .900X.900X1.300 at peak or any size
you want to make them.
