What you will need:
Using glue, stick six ice cream sticks along each side of the hexagon. Apply glue on top of these for the next line of ice cream sticks.

Take a new ice cream stick and measure the distance between the two sides, as shown below. Next, take a pencil and make a visible mark on one of the ice cream sticks to indicate this distance.
These will be used as the base of the roof of the birdhouse.

Step 4

What you will need:
Cut each new piece of the ice cream sticks to the same length as the distance between the two sides.

What you will need:
Take the barbecue sticks and stick them under the roof, as shown in the image below.

Using two barbecue sticks, create a branch, stick the artificial birds on top and fix a place for them inside the birdhouse with glue.

Step 10

Now simply add the artificial nest to the birdhouse along with some decoration for the birdhouse and you are good to go!
