Shutter Birdhouse

17 years ago

Here is a birdhouse I made in the spring using old shutters,screen door bracket,drawer pull,a lamp finial and old ceiling tin roof. I love making birdhouses and have fun adding junk I pick up at sales to hop them up. I made about 25 different ones and have sold most of them. Hopefully there are alot of happy birds out there using them!

    Sorry, not sure what I did...will work on it..HELP

    I got photobucket, but it said the photo had been deleted or moved....

  • 17 years ago

    Oh I hope you can post a photo, it sound really cool.

  • 17 years ago

    They do sound really cool. I'd like to see them too.
    Go to your photobucket pic and underneath it left click on the html code. On my computer at work a little sign that says: "copied" flashes right where I clicked. But on others the first click just highlights the code and I now have to right click and copy the code. Then come to your message in this thread and right click paste. The code will print, and when you preview the message the pic should show up.
    By the way it works best to open a new tab (in the file drop down menu) and have photobucket on one tab and garden junk on the other, its just easier to go back and forth.
    And my home computer used to get the little copied sign too, it was so much easier. Not sure what happened.
    Good luck

    Not sure what I did different, but this time your address worked!

    I'll post a link directly from the pic.
    It is very nice. I can see why they all sold. What is your price, if you don't mind my asking?

    Wow, Morningglori, I'm not surprise you're selling 'em. That is GORGEOUS!! I'd love to see more of your work!!

    A work of art!! Birdhouses are one of my [many] weaknesses. It so happens I have a pair of small shutters waiting for a vision =]

    Keep the pics comin!!

    Give me a saw, a drill or a router and I'm just fine, but posting a picture, I struggle. I will follow the directions from Kathy for the next one! Thanks for the comments, I sold this one for $65.00.

    That is really pretty. I think the picture needs to go in our For the Birds album! I have some little shutters I bought at GW months ago, not having clue what I was going to do with them. This is a great idea. I love decorative birdhouses. Tho have never made one myself.

    hugs, Karen

    Jeanne, I recognize several of your birdhouses, I love them! Once you start making them the crazy ideas just keep coming. My neighbor ripped down an old cedar shed and asked me if I wanted the wood...I said YES!!! I've gotten alot of milage from that cedar...along with doorknobs,bottle stoppers,old hardware,lamp finials and anything else I get cheap!! LOL
