Why toss your old shoes when you can remodel them into houses for birds? Think about it: shoes are cozy, dry, and protect us against harsh weather. It’s no wonder birds take a liking to them! Learn how to give your worn shoes some purpose by reading the rest of our post below (organized by shoe type!):

Rain Boots

Due to their waterproof quality, rain boots provide the perfect shelter for birds on stormy days. Put your own creative twist on an old pair, or decorate it like this gnome rain boot birdhouse!

 

Rain boot birdhouses look warm and welcoming and also add plenty of personality to your garden. You might want to hang this one up; I wouldn't be surprised if someone stepped right in and ran away with it!
