In addition to instructions and diagrams for constructing houses for such avian varieties as robins, wrens and chickadees, the easy-to-follow text also provides suggestions for feeding devices, bird house materials, methods of finishing exteriors, and winter care for birds. <br \/>An authoritative, how-to book that will appeal to beginning and veteran woodcrafters alike, Making Birdhouses also features a supplement with easy projects for novices \u2014 among them simple structures for woodpeckers, a box for robins, and an \u201cA-frame\u201d for nuthatches. Plans for houses made from such common objects as gourds, a flower pot, tin cans, and an old lantern are also included.<br \/>Detailed instructions and diagrams assure successful completion of projects that will satisfy builders as well as their feathered friends.     <\/p>\n<p>                                                 From the brand   <\/p>\n<p>                                              <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Dover Creative Studio\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/G\/01\/x-locale\/common\/grey-pixel.gif\" class=\"a-lazy-loaded\" data-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/1aa92ba6-11ee-469d-9aad-3161ed8729aa.__CR739,0,1523,650_PT0_SX1464_V1___.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Dover Creative Studio\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/1aa92ba6-11ee-469d-9aad-3161ed8729aa.__CR739,0,1523,650_PT0_SX1464_V1___.png\">  <\/p>\n<p>                                              <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/G\/01\/x-locale\/common\/grey-pixel.gif\" class=\"a-lazy-loaded\" data-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/678e21ee-a323-4095-a885-c7c3c8dacc17.__CR0,0,315,145_PT0_SX315_V1___.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/678e21ee-a323-4095-a885-c7c3c8dacc17.__CR0,0,315,145_PT0_SX315_V1___.jpg\">  <\/p>\n<h3> Dover Creative Studio <\/h3>\n<p> Whether picking up a crochet hook for the first time, carving a piece of wood, or exploring the intricate world of stained glass, Dover Creative Studio books guide every step from start to finish. <\/p>\n<h3> Best Sellers <\/h3>\n<p class=\"apm-brand-story-stores-link\">\n<h3> New Releases <\/h3>\n<p class=\"apm-brand-story-stores-link\">\n<h3> Art Instruction <\/h3>\n<p class=\"apm-brand-story-stores-link\">\n<h3> Crochet &amp;
