GINGERBREAD BIRDHOUSES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the cookies: In a small mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and allspice. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, shortening and sugar with a hand mixer. Add the cream cheese and the mix until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs 1 at a time and blend until fluffy. Slowly add the flour and mix until dough is combined. Turn out onto floured board and knead until dough is smooth. Divide dough into thirds and roll out to 1/4-inch thick pieces. Cut out shapes with sharp knife or dough cutter and transfer to a greased parchment lined cookie sheet. Crush candies in a baggy and spoon into cutouts. Bake in the oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until edges are slightly browned and candies are thoroughly melted. Let cool on cookie sheet. Decorate with Royal Icing.
- For the icing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the meringue powder and sugar. Gradually whisk in 1 tablespoon of water at a time until icing has a creamy texture. Use the icing as a glue to assemble the houses, as desired.
BIRD HOUSES
These darling little bird houses are made with collected wine corks. I made 10 of them (center pieces) for my daughter's bridal shower. Each is different in little ways! I've collected corks from many different wine that we drank and from those that gave to me. My Best Dad in the world went and bought me some never used for me to use too. He makes his own wine! For those that want an easy way just ask your favorite restaurant to give you the corks they throw away! The bird house are held together with hot glue sticks. Spanish moss or dried herbs( for a beautiful aroma) can be used to fill in the spaces and give it that lived in feeling. Decorate as you want! I uploaded picture step by step to help with assembling. The birds, butterflies, ladybugs are your choice. Be creative as you want!

Steps:
- Tie a bow with the raffia.
- Assemble corks by size the best you can. So each section is about the same size.
- When gluing adjust corks while glue is hot to even out.
- This is glued in 6 sections then put together.
- The base is 4 corks glued (2 side x side then glued end to end.
- Attached to the right and left of the base will be 1 row of 4 corks glued together (side x side).
- The peak is 2 corks glued end to end.
- The 2 roof tops are 8 corks each. Two rows of four corks glued side X side, then glue the 2 rows together.
- Assemble start at the base attach the right side and the left side. Eye them to make them come out on an angle.
- Then go to the top half glue the peak to the roof sides. Take note in the pictures how they meet.
- You can adjust while glue is warm.
- Randomly place hot glue on open spaces and top with moss or herbs. Place a nest inside and place birds in the nest. Adhere the bow on top with hot glue.
- Be careful not to burn yourself. I made 10 and burnt myself 3 times.

- DIY Birdhouse Plans: Sizing for Certain Birds. The size of the entry hole and the interior room can make a huge difference in the type of bird your house will attract.
- DIY Birdhouse Plans and Details. Keep in mind that you’ll need to clean your birdhouse after the nesting season. To make this as easy as possible, we’ve included a sliding rear door held in place with small hook-and-eye latches.
- Cut Out the Pieces. Cut out all the pieces in the cutting list (above) with a jigsaw. Rip the solid board to seven inches wide before cutting parts A, B and D.
- Assemble the Base. Nail the wood flange assembly together with 6d galvanized finish nails. Glue and nail the base to this assembly. Pro Tip: Use outdoor carpenter’s glue for a stable, water-resistant bond.
- Cut the Roof Pieces. Set your jigsaw base at 45 degrees and cut miter joints for the roof pieces G and H. We made the roof angle 45 degrees to simplify measuring and cutting.
- Assemble the Walls. Glue and nail the front piece (B1) to the side pieces (A). Use 4d galvanized finish nails. Don’t glue and nail the backside (B2). The back piece is 1/8 in.
- Cut a Roof Opening. Cut an opening into the front roof panel (G) for access through the dormer. Drill a 3/8-in. starter hole in two opposite corners to start the cut easily.
- Assemble the Entry. Glue and nail parts C to the center entry panel (J) once you’ve drilled the entry hole. Glue this assembly to the front plywood roof panel.
- Attach the Entry. Nail the roof panels to the side walls with 4d galvanized nails. Use glue along the mitered seam at the top.
- Glue and Nail the Railing. Assemble the porch railing and nail it to the posts, then nail the porch roof (L) to the posts. Glue the seam along the roof and hold it in place with masking tape.
