Nifty tin from some "Jack Daniels" coffee -- turned into a bird house.  Yes, it qualifies as it can be cleaned from year to year (remove tin top)!  Domino for a perch and some twirled tin for haning...might be a bit tipsy, but it works!

I use one of my husband's big files to "smooth" the rough, cut opening, then affix anything from a piece of plumbing to shower ring to napkin holder for the exterior opening (E6000). Not sure what that doodad is that I used for the hole, I think a fitting for tub plumbing?
