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.

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.
