Bird House Milk Carton

BIRD HOUSE MILK CARTON

Needed:

• Good scissors
• Old newspaper
• A towel
• Environmentally friendly paints Paper or card
• A straight(ish) stick String
• Bird food

Method:

1. Wash the carton and dry it out by leaving it upside down for an hour. Lay a towel on the floor and gather all of the listed items.

2. With a pair of good scissors, cut windows on either side of the carton – any shape or size you fancy. Then cut a hole at the bottom on both sides – big enough to poke a stick through. This is a ledge for the birds.

3. Paint your birdhouse and leave it

to dry on newspaper. Then give it

a second coat. Drying times will depend on the type of paint you use.

4. It’s time to decorate your birdhouse. Be as creative as you like.

5. Once dry, use the scissors to poke a hole through the top. Then use string to create a loop so you can hang your birdhouse. Don’t forget to put some bird food inside to encourage the birds!
