It’s wine o’clock somewhere, which means it’s time to share a wine-related repurposing find.
Today, it’s corks made into a bird house.

DIY / repurposing idea du jour:
Old boot screwed onto a tree or a fence = new bird house.

InDezign’s TweeTin instantly transforms your old coffee tins into a perfect nesting sanctuary for our feathered friends. Simply clean out your old tins, screw through the bottom to affix them to a vertical surface like a wall or tree, clip on the TweeTin cover and… voila!
Composed of flexible, recycled plastics, there are a number of sizes and each is easily to clean so they can be reused year-to-year during nesting season.
Two things Tuesday: Milk cartons
Got milk (cartons)?
Turn an empty milk or juice carton into a bird feeder or a bird house.

Via repurposedgoods:
A friend recently showed me this great upcycled (repurposed) birdhouse design shop called, Recycled Bird Houses (RBH). What a GREAT name! Started in 1997, the owners of RBH and several men with unique challenges from Brown’s Foster Home have built numerous bird houses out of found materials. Since then, thousands of bird houses have been built and sold. (Three years after RBH’s inception, 800 birds gained new found digs!)
So, buy a bird house, put someone to work and listen to the birds off your back porch…win - win situation!
Pine cones as roof shingles — love it!
