Sunset Grass Birdhouse – Ghana

Description

Say hello to the cutest birdhouses you’ve ever seen! Sit back, relax and enjoy seeing the birds come flocking to the porch area. This delicately textured and handcrafted birdhouse was made by groups of women in intimate communities in the Bolgatanga region of Ghana in an ethical, fair trade environment.

Details

Materials: Elephant grass, natural dyes.

Each birdhouse is handmade, color and size may vary slightly.

Measurements: Approx. 4.7” W x 12” H

Care: To clean or re-shape, simply wet it with cool water, shape as needed, and allow it to air dry. Avoid chemicals or detergents. Once per season, the birdhouse should be cleaned out to make room for the next house guest. Simply discard any inside debris and clean with water. This will also help hydrate the straw and keep it supple.
