DIY Birdhouse

Fresh from Dollywood, Ken Wingard has a DIY inspired by his visit. Today he is making birdhouses that are designed to look like mini-mansions. Ken recommends finding an old dollhouse online to start as your base. After he makes the dollhouse to look like a birdhouse, he paints it to look like the Home & Family house! Mark jokes that if you can’t afford the mansion birdhouse, you can always purchase a bird condo.

Debbie and Ken actually got to spend some time in the bakery at Dollywood where they learned from baker, Frankie Field, just how many batches get made daily to meet the needs of customers.
