Make a Functional Stone Birdhouse

Get the stain of your choice ready with some rags and a brush. Please do this outdoors the fumes are flammable.

Stain the roof.

Don’t forget to stain around the entrance hole and under the eaves of the roof.
Gather your materials. Colorful stones, (Yes I am a stone hoarder) a twig for the perch and in this case some bottle caps I found at a campground.

Add your focal point first, it is easier to fill in with the stones that way.

Start adding your stones, and perch. I used a great piece of red manzanita for this house, goes with the red in the bottle caps and the roof.

Ok, your all done covering it with your stones. Next comes the fun part.

Remember that opening on the bottom for your house? Add a piece of wood cut to size and attach with screws. This is where those pieces of wood attached inside come in handy. ( this makes for cleaning out your birdhouse easy comes the end of the season).

Go to the hardware store and grab a can of polyurethane. Give your house a good spray and watch the stones shine!!!
If you do not want a shiny house skip this step, but, who doesn’t want a shiny house?

Look at that shine!!!
