Birdhouse Frames

Step 1

This is the one shown in the picture. It's sized just right for a 5x7 photo.

Step 2

I did the roof a little different in this one in case you don't have a miter saw. You can use this roof style on all roofs made with 45 degree angles off square.

Step 3

This one is the same as the last, excpet fits a 8x10.

Step 4

My fav. You can add the base to any of the frames as well.

Step 5

Finishing

Sand all surfaces, starting with a medium grit and finishing with fine. Wipe off the dust, fill any holes or gaps with wood filler, and sand smooth once dry. Apply primer if you're painting, then finish with your choice of paint or stain and seal with a durable clear topcoat. For outdoor projects, use exterior-rated primer, paint or stain, and sealer so the piece stands up to the weather.
