I saw this birdhouse made with an old water faucet. Since I had some old plumbing supplies that belonged to my grandpa, I came up with this craft decor using a water faucet and a handle. The "birdhouse" was something I found at a thrift store.
Total Time: 1 hour
Yield: 1
Supplies:
- paint
- paint brush
- crackle paint
- stain
- paper towel
- old faucet
- old faucet handle
- embellishments
Steps:
- First, I painted two coats of paint on the birdhouse after a hole was drilled on the top and side to fit the faucet and faucet handle. Let dry between coats. Apply crackle paint to painted surface and let dry 2 to 4 hours.
- Using paper towel, dip into stain and apply to crackle paint. Wipe off excess. This gives is an old distressed look.
- Add fixtures and embellishments.

Lovely! Was the entrance hole the perfect size for the tap or did you have to enlarge it?
