I found this old ice cream maker last month. My husband is making me a birdhouse out of it (I will post about it soon!)
So this is what we started with.
Inside of it, was this rusty metal cylinder. A perfect shape for another birdhouse!
He made this cedar roof.
And cut off the top.
I found this metal bird at Hobby Lobby. A little bit of surgery to it and it became the finial.
I used my trusty apple cider vinegar and steel wool process to age it.
I then sent it off to my dear friend Heather for her birthday!
Thanks for your visit!

ReplyDeleteSo cute, Pam. What a great idea. I bet she was over the moon to get it..Happy Thursday..Judy
ReplyDeleteSuch a special gift for your friend. Handmade gifts are the best.
ReplyDeletePam, how clever and so darn cute. What a fantastic gift:)
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a fantastic gift. Your husband is so talented at woodworking, and when he pairs with you...well, the two of you together are just plain dangerous! :) By the way, have I ever mentioned the date of my Birthday?
ReplyDeletefantastic you made a lovely lamp you provide nice art to us.
ReplyDeleteTruly a unique and wonderfull gift! That is very crafty! Fantastic DIY project, and a great way to reuse old material to recycle into something new and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSuch a clever turn-around. I do love that old ice-cream maker tub. Believe it or not, before Cuisinarts we used to use those to churn it. So messy. You'll find a better use. Dropping by from BNOP, Jane
ReplyDeleteWow, what a creative idea to share.
ReplyDeletewell, just too too cute!! Of course I loved just the ice cream tin itself...maybe just rust it a tad bit more. =)
