Question:

Would like to make a birdhouse with a copper roof?

Does anyone know where I can get information on how to make a copper round roof for a birdhouse? How do you cut the copper without bending the heck out of it? thank you

Answer:

Buy some copper flashing and cut the stuff with tin snips. Press out any bends with a piece of wood and a rubber mallet. Attach the roof to the birdhouse with copper nails. Go to a (mom and pop) hardware store they will know what you need.
2 GOOD answers. Copper, by the sheet, is also sold in craft store. (Love the Mom Pop stores, too).

use a copper sheet, [flat] cut it in a circle [larger than what the top will be ] cut to the center, pull it into a cone shape you cut it with metal shears it looks like a over size scissors
