I had an idea… I thought I would share a Springtime Project every Saturday until Springtime, and then I woke up today to snow… But I’ll go on ahead and share a project anyway.
This one is perfect for an indoor snowy weather day, and it will help out the freezing cold birds out there too.
Today we are making Outdoor Bird Feeders out of Plastic Bottles
For the Bird Feeder project you’ll need:
- Bird Seed
- Plastic Bottles that you were going to recycle anyway
- Duct Tape
- Hole Puncher
- Sharp Scissors
- Small Nail
- Floss or String
Remove all of the labels off of the plastic bottles, and trim the bottles to the size that you would like your bird feeder. Use a strip of duct tape to cover the sharp edge that you just trimmed, and punch 3-4 holes around the bottle with your hole puncher. Use a small nail or needle to punch a few holes in the bottom of your bird feeder for drainage. Thread your string through the holes, and make sure that your string is long enough to hang the bird feeder on a tree or planter. Fill with bird seed and take them outside for the birdies.
Thade had fun filling the bird feeders with bird seed, and I think the song birds will enjoy the extra treat on a cold day like today.
Thanks Nana! This is an easy project to make, and Thade had a lot of fun getting to fill the feeders. I hope that the birds enjoy the treat too.
Your feeders look neat Nico! I’m sure the birds appreciate it!
Thanks Heather! This was a fun project to make, and with the recent cold snap I think the birds appreciated the extra food. I hope that we see some warmer weather soon.
