A Bit About Us
We're Pal Tiya International, and sculpting is what we care about. Between us, we've sculpted for decades and used every sculpting material on the planet (no joke).

We created Pal Tiya Premium, a versatile weatherproof clay for outdoor sculpture that is non-firing (easy to cure), and gorgeous to use.
We are not bird experts and as such, these are designed to be decorative bird houses. We love putting fairy lights in ours and lighting up our garden for a little magic sizzle.
​
​We’re all about creativity and these ideas will certainly get your juices flowing. Designing and creating homemade birdhouses can be a fun project to do any time of the year. We certainly had fun with these DIY birdhouse ideas.

There were loads of ways NOT to sculpt these birdhouses, and we worked out the simplest ways to share with you 😊 
 
Decorative Birdhouses for Outside
We’ll share these handcrafted birdhouses from easiest to make to more complex. Underneath each picture we have put in approximately how much Pal Tiya Premium medium was used. When cured (due to the added water weight) the sculptures will weigh approx. 13% heavier.

Some of the birdhouse ideas have links to more detail.

"It is a fun sculpture medium that is more like sculpting in ceramic clay than in making a paper mache project. It is pliable, does not crumble and it does do exactly what you want it to do. When mixed properly, it is easy to add and subtract clay as needed...
