Learn how to make a birdhouse in 10 minutes or less using a simple materials list that only costs $5!
Nothing says “Hello Spring” like a darling set of pedestal birdhouses! These wooden bird feeders are made with pre-assembled houses and wood candlesticks. I got all my materials at Hobby Lobby – the houses were $4 and the candlesticks were $2, but I used a coupon so my total was less than $5 per house. I’ll link to some similar for your shopping convenience, just in case you don’t have access to a craft store.
Here’s how to make them –
Pedestal Birdhouse DIY
SUPPLIES –
- finished birdhouses (unless you feel totally inspired to make your own!)
- wood candlestick*
- hot glue + glue gun
- paint and paint brush, optional
* If you’re planning to paint your birdhouse, you can buy glass candlesticks from the dollar store and attach them to the wood house with Krazy Glue.
HOW TO MAKE A BIRDHOUSE –
- Add some hot glue to the rim of your candlestick.
- Place the birdhouse on top and let the glue dry completely. If you want some extra strength, add more glue around the perimeter where the wood house meets the wood candlestick.
- Paint, if you’d like.
- When your glue is completely dry, you’re done!
What do you think? I personally love the natural wood of these birdhouses, but they would definitely look darling in some coordinating colors!
Happy spring!
I am making this! It would be adorable on my stoop!

Thanks for the compliment Cheryl! The comments you leave me make me smile, every one of them! 🙂
Those birdhouses are great. We need some color in our back yard. Maybe birdhouses are just what we need.

Those turned out so cute! I would prefer to invite the smaller birds as well! Their poop is a LOT less messy 🙂 Great job Stephanie!!
Your bird houses are adorable. My children have painted the little bird houses from Joann’s before, but maybe mommy needs to make some up and put them on a pedestal because I’m PRETTY sure these would look adorable on my front porch. Thanks for the great idea! 🙂 Going to Pin them now.
