hot glue gun

You can make your own Cork Discs by Slicing Wine Cork

Prestep 1: First decide how many Wine corks you need
for an Average size bird house you need around 20 wine corks




Step 1: Give the birdhouse a good sanding. Brush and wipe off with a damp cloth.

Step 2: If you plan to use more than one paint color, tape off the birdhouse where necessary. 

Step 3: Paint your birdhouse. Remove tape and allow paint to dry. Tape off previously painted areas and paint remaining exposed wood. 


Step 4: Hot glue wine corks to both sides of the roof and down the center. 

Cut Cork as shingles and glue to the walls of the Birdhouse

Step 5: If you plan to display your birdhouse outside, give it a coat of a clear protectant spray.
