Begin this free, online dried craft gourd art project with our Basic Constructions step-by-step page. Then enjoy how to create your roof accents on our Bee House Roof Accents page, and the Bee House Gallery page.
This project began as an experiment and practice piece in creating a large, roofed bird house gourd. I wanted to work out how to add a wooden roof before I began the cutting steps on my large kettle gourd. As I worked I became more and more delighted with the nest egg and small bottle gourd houses that I used as my practice pieces. Adding a few dried, natural accents was logical next step to change them from just experiments into Bee, Bug, and Seed Houses that I could use for my fall decorations and in my autumn flower gardens.
Have fun creating your own gourd art, miniature bird houses for your garden, autumn wreaths, and Christmas presents.
