For the roof I cut out a piece of Chocolate Chip card 4" x 2" then punched out a few rows of scallops using the S.U. scallop punches and glued them on.
Using the 1" circle punch punched a hole in the, I should really have used the larger 1 3/4" punch to give a bigger opening. The SU bird really is a little bit big but my Granddaughter thought they were brilliant particularly as I popped some acetate inside to cover the opening and filled the little houses with Cadburys Chocolate eggs....yum yum... I attached the roof by punching a hole with my Crop-a-dial and then threading through some ribbon.
Grace made her own Easter Cards to go with the bird houses using the S.U. Good Egg set but unfortunately I forgot to ask Mummy to take a picture of them....

These are fabulous Anne - the SU bird builder punch is one of my all-time faves., and I love how you used it on the bird house milk cartons. Almost looks like the birdies are hatching an egg or two in a little nest - just love these! A great way to create the roof too!
