Wren House Pattern and Instructions

This Wren House is so cute and easy to make. It will attract wrens to your yard or garden. Wrens are the gardener's friends. They eat harmful insects that are damaging to your flowers and vegetable plants.  They are entertaining to watch and have a melodious song.

They usually arrive in our area around the beginning of May, but this winter was so mild that they arrived by mid-March.

It's always fun to watch them filling their houses with grasses and twigs as they build their nests. Then it is so exciting when we hear their young nestlings start to chirp. Both parents get involved in the nesting and the feeding of their young.  Before long, we enjoy seeing the nestlings start to poke their heads out of the house and finally fly out as young fledglings. Following are the instructions and pattern pieces to build your own wren houses.
