Gather your materials: Make sure you have all the necessary materials and tools listed above before you begin.
Design your birdhouse: Decide on the design and dimensions of your birdhouse.
Cut the wood: Use a saw to cut the wood into the required pieces. You'll typically need two side panels.
Mark and drill the entrance hole: On the front panel, measure and mark the entrance hole's location, typically about 1.5 inches.
Assemble the birdhouse: Using wood glue and screws (or nails), assemble the birdhouse pieces together.
Add a roof: Attach the roof to the top of the birdhouse. You can use hinges if you want to make it easy to access and clean the birdhouse.
Sand and finish: Sand any rough edges or surfaces to make them smooth.
