I saw this cute crocheted birdhouse on the Anthropologie site. It’s made from recycled wood and repurposed cloth – very eco-chic.
Since I’m learning to crochet, I thought I’d try to make one of my own.
Mine isn’t eco-chic but it is bright and cheerful. I made 5 granny square (4 sides and a bottom) and stitched them together.
I inserted pieces of cardboard to the inside so the birdhouse would keep it’s shape.
I used a paper plate for the roof, cutting a pie wedge out and taping it into a cone shape. The shingles are made out of burlap and glue gunned into place.

Mine might not be as eco-friendly but it definitely is more budget-friendly.
