Willow Bird House

To celebrate National Nest Box Week, here's a hedgerow mini make. There are lots of ways to make bird houses, but this is the most simple version. I have used hedgerow materials, but you can also use willow. How to Make - You will need - 7 thick rods about 2 foot long, lots of thin rods, any length and string. Wrap and tie the seven rods, bend them over at the bottom to splay them out. Take one of the thinner rods, insert the tip between tow of the uprights and weave in-between each one, when you run out add another in the same place, it does not matter wether you start with a tip or the butt end, do whatever suits your material it will depend on the flexibility. Weave the shape you want all the way up, then wrap and tie the top. Trim off any bits sticking out and lastly cut an entrance out somewhere in the middle. Hope you enjoy this mini make. Thanks for watching.
