Lots of folks like the birdhouse type. Yours look good, except ....

Note how unobtrusive the cotter key hanger is. Steel or brass, your choice. I do the more traditional globe and icicle type. Have to be hollowed for weight reduction if you're using a natural tree. Not critical on an artificial. They come in at 1/2-1 oz or so ideally.

I really love the double twig on the one. Looks like it is a Family house.
Yes

Like MM said I now use cotter keys on the three I made and I did not do a cost check in it but had them from long ago.

I forgot to ask where did you get the blue and green plywood stuff at? Also on the hooks I think they look good with some things like the bigger bird houses about 6" like that where a cotter pin would look small and out of place.

Thanks for the link and I like those a lot better, however, I like the bling of gold so looked that up on the site and it is on Clearance 230 for $1.49.

Hope they take paypal.

Hey Arlin

The multi-colored ones are bits of Spectraply left over from bottle stoppers and such.

My grandkids would love if I made them some ornaments form that. Do they have pink, purple, and blue?

Do they ever go on sale?

Thanks
