These cute, colourful bird feeders can be hung up around the garden to attract birds. They're made from old yoghurt containers and a few additional items.
YOU WILL NEED:
Clean yoghurt container
Rust-Oleum 2X spray paint
Ice cream stocks
Chopsticks or thin dowels
Length of string
Wild bird seed
TOOLS:
Hot glue gun
Craft knife and cutting mat
Pencil and ruler
HERE'S HOW:
1. Make sure the yoghurt container is clean and dry and then apply two coats of Rust-Oleum 2X in your choice of colour. Be sure to shake the can well and hold about 30cm away from the container.
2. Cut all the ice cream sticks in half. Use a sharp craft knife, steel ruler and cutting mat.
3. Heat up the glue gun and apply a bead of glue to the ice cream sticks to make the roof of the bird feeder.
4. Draw an opening at the front and back of the container and cut this out with a craft knife. Also cut small cross shapes just below the openings.
5. Push in the chopsticks or dowels to make perches for the birds to sit on.
6. Make a hole at the top of the bird feeder to thread a length of string through for hanging the feeder outdoors and fill with wild bird seed.
