Hearing the geese says, yes, yes spring is here. It’s late and rather than risk falling asleep I’m going to say that the bird houses are cute and original.

    I don't know which is my favorite, they are all so beautiful! I can't wait to try a couple of them. I live in a rented town house with absolutely no yard, so these will be going on my front, side, and back porch. The front and side are very small, but the back is 24' x 24'. The front has a roof over, so I can hang a bird feeder and maybe the planted house. My kitten loves to sit in the front window and watch her kingdom lol, I think she would love watching and hearing the birds. Thank you so much for sharing, I've been thinking of ways to do this for about a month but was undecided and wasn't sure what would work best. Thanks again

    *Hi Crafting Cousins❣️ Please don't take this comment as me being critical or unkind;; I'm just trying to be informative. 😉😊 If for some reason you don't get any birds in your 1st darling little basket birdhouse, it's probably because the entrance hole is too large. Birds like their entrance holes SMALL - just barely enough room for the parents to squeeze inside. Why? It's because it makes it much harder for predators to get inside the birdhouse - which is especially important after the baby birds have hatched and the parents are out hunting insects for their babies and the chicks are left alone and momentarily unattended inside the nest. 🤔 Because of the size of your basket, probably bluebirds, robins or other birds with longer tails won't fit - so probably only smaller birds like sparrows or finches will fit - but the hole may be too large for the parents to feel comfortable. If you are wondering how large a birdhouse hole should be, you can actually look that up online. They have birdhouse plans that will tell you what size the hole should be, depending upon what specific variety of bird 🐦 you are hoping to attract. 😁😃😉 Hope this information is helpful to you, ladies❣️🙏💜*

No; I don't think your basket birdhouse is ruined❣️😉 I agree with Mary Ellen that you can make the hole smaller. 😃 Great suggestion, Mary Ellen‼️👌 Not sure if you have any moulds shaped like keyholes or the ones that look like mini picture frames from IOD...but if you do, you could make one out of resin and glue the frame over the top of the larger hole with Gorilla Glue. Whatever you decide, I really enjoyed your imaginative creation❣️😊💜*
