Make your own Jack-o-lantern or bird house

Take a hardshell gourd. With a sharp knife, cut out the eyes and mouth for the jack-o-lantern. Cut out the entrance for the birdhouse. Leave the gourd to dry. When it is hard and dry, clean the inside. Apply Brown varnish on the outside. Finish it with a coat of polyurethane. This will make your bird house long lasting.
