Etceteras: pasta box birdhouse
Pasta is a popular dinner choice in our house and the pasta boxes are perfect for crafting since they have a built in windows.
There are lots of things you can make with these boxes. I thought birdhouses would be fun.
Here’s how you can make these birdhouses.
- Open up the bottom and top of the box.
- Lay the box flat and cut off part of the bottom and top of the box. Keep these pieces to make the roof.
- Cut out the “A” frame part of the roof and secure to the sides of the house with tape.
- Cut out the roof and secure with tape.
- Cover your box with paper.
- Add birds to the inside so they’re peeking through the window
This project can also be modified for a child’s craft. Use whole sheets of paper instead of shingles or paint the box with craft paint.
Pasta box birdhouses – a great excuse to eat more pasta.

Etceteras: haunted birdhouse
It’s finally here. All the little ghosts, goblins and witches will be out and about this weekend getting enough candy to last a year. And I’m ready for them.
I found this unfinished wood birdhouse in the dollar bin at the craft store. I really had plans to paint it in bright colors, decorate it and enjoy a pretty birdhouse. But the Halloween obsession got the best of me…


For my last Halloween post of this year, I made a birdhouse.
I found this unfinished wood birdhouse in the dollar bin at the craft store. I really had plans to paint it in bright colors, decorate it and enjoy a pretty birdhouse. But the Halloween obsession got the best of me…

My birdhouse has become haunted.
I spray painted the wood in a metallic black and used dead leaves on the roof.

A little Spanish moss and more dead foliage and no bird would dare enter this house.
Happy Halloween to all.
