Christmas Bird Houses

[LarryEA]

These are Diana Thompson's Christmas  bird houses 

featured in CWWC magazine November 2011

I like my 'Chains', I don't use the screw hooks.

These Bird Houses are:

Lantern, light bulb, Christmas Tree, Mushroom, Boot, mitten, Ornament and Bell.

                         

•     The top four are made from Red Cedar​
  
•      The middle eight are the Christmas Bird House set made from Spanish Cedar
  
•      The bottom row are the J&S or siblings from the middle row houses.
  

Please comment. Thank you.

DW, yer close to right.... NOT fishing leader but 'Fish Hook' earrings.

Rocky and Marg... I buy the chain and fish hook earrings in a craft store...A.C. Moore, Michaels!!!

I straighten the earring and cut to length, add the chain, drill an 077 hole, a dab of super glue.

Sometimes I use 'spring clips' instead of fish hook earrings.

Some great looking birdhouses there for the upcoming holidays Larry.  Thanks for sharing your "how to" on the using of fish hook earrings instead of screw hooks.  I appreciate you sharing your photos to show us what you have done.

I've noticed that the birds mounted like  you have  is nice but a more slanted look give the impression of a singing happy bird.No worrys i've made 196  of them before i noticed the difference.

and let me tell you they sang happily ever after
