Wow really. Did anyone think like me that you just cut the gourd and make your project? I am so glad I came across his video so I can learn the proper way to dry and then clean them off before you use for the craft. I have always wanted to make some bird houses because I think they are neat but did not know how to start and buying them already done are very expensive. This is a very well done video. Thanks.
