This project is a real multi-tasker. Not only does it help nature, giving birds a haven to hatch their eggs in, but it also serves as a use for scrap wood. Make sure to choose rough pallet planks for your build as these will add some rustic character and charm to your birdhouse. Read on to find out how to create the cute pink house (pictured second in the row).
