Do It Yourself Bird Feeders
D.I.Y. Bird Feeders
Materials:
- 20 oz. Plastic bottle (you can use gatorade, soda, tea, any bottle works)
- Two wooden spoons
- Sharpie marker
- Craft knife
- Scissors
- Floral wire
- Bird Seeds
Directions:
Step 1: Using a sharpie marker, draw a small circle on one side of the bottle about 4 inches from the bottom. Cut it out using the craft knife and make sure the end of the spoon fits into the hole.
Step 2: Directly opposite this hole, cut a slightly larger hole using the craft knife. Make sure the big end of the spoon can rest in the hole.
Step 3: Repeat this process, but 2 inches from the bottom instead of 4. Also use the opposite sides of the bottle so your spoons are at a 90 degree angle to one another.
Step 4: Stick the wooden spoons in the holes and hot glue them in to place. Then fill up the bottle with bird seeds.
Step 5: Using the floral wire around the neck of the bottle wrap the wire around. Then using another piece of wire make a handle by wrapping it around the wire on the neck of the bottle on both sides. Then screw the cap on.
Step 6: Hang in a tree and let the birds all enjoy.
