I found this birdhouse on Daily Danny – an eco-friendly blog by green living expert Danny Seo – and it reminded me of a funny story. You see, I LOVED The Fox & Hound when I was little. So much so that my mom ordered me a personalized Fox & Hound story where the printer puts the child’s (my) name in the text (see an example of what I’m talking about here). The problem is that I thought the book was really about me – that someone had written it specially about yours truly. My best friend Stephani’s name was even in there, so I was sure! I guess I was a very literal child. Anyhoo, seeing this Fox & Hound book birdhouse brings it all back. And makes me smile.
Visit here to see how Danny puts together his book birdhouse – there’s even a video from the Today show. It would be very fun to do a winter-hemed board book birdhouse for this time of year, or even for any holiday. Danny’s got a lot of great eco-friendly ideas, so pay him a visit and tell him I sent you.
Blogger who loves the color blue and sock monkeys. You can find me in public easily— I'm wearing glasses and lots of stripes.
This is one creative and inspiring birdhouse. Love the idea of using books.
oh, i LOVE this idea! definitely going to try this out! i’m already picturing a saggy, baggy elephant one….
Birds must love this house…
Amazing craft. I think “I Help Mommy” would be a good one. I’m going to come back after Christmas and make all your ideas. I have a bunch of them marked.
OMG! This is amazing… I could imagine these little birdhouses hanging in a nursery! Super cool!
I’m going to make one and post it on my blog! with the right credit due though! but I’m thinking Alice in wonderland
i can’t find the project on the Daily Danny page— any help??!!
