As I was cleaning up outside the other day, I was about to throw out a few of those plastic pots that plants come in from the garden center. Then I remembered I had pinned a birdhouse made out of those black plastic pots! So I set aside a few of those pots to try this project. Here’s a super cute way to upcycle those black plastic garden pots from Blue Roof Cabin

Won’t the roof of the birdhouse be cute when it’s covered in succulents!
Make a Plastic Planter Pot Into A Birdhouse

See the tutorial for making this cute planter into birdhouse at Blue Roof Cabin
If you want this to be more decorative than actually a habitat for birds, you could skip a lot of the steps and put some chicken wire over the holes.
How cute. Love it:)
Such a great idea, Manuela! Back at our old house I paid good money for those pretty white bird houses with the cedar shake shingle roof. I only had the two, but I really loved them. This project gives a similar look.
Ingenious! Love the colours and the creativity behind it all!
Have a great weekend!

This is fantastic and I am going to save this for the house. It will be a great project for next spring since we won’t be in until late fall. I’m excited about doing this project it will be fun!!!
