Airstream for birds

On my trip to Warrenton in the Fall, I picked up a few old 5-gallon gasoline cans and some rusty ceiling tins. Put together, they make some interesting birdhouses. They make me think of the Airstream travel trailers. To make one of these, take the handle off of the gas can so you can put it on the top of the ceiling tin. I painted the ceiling tin brown, then dry-brushed some turquoise over the top. Screw the roof to the side of the can and it is ready to put a "For Rent" sign out.
