Tips for the Birdhouse Structure
The birdhouse is a box with a peaked roof, worked in panels and stiffened with cardboard so it stands crisp. The entrance hole is a simple dark circle applique with a tiny perch below it. A crocheted vine or flower climbing one side adds cottage charm. A miniature bird peeking from the hole makes the scene irresistible.
