Milk Carton Bird Feeder

Winter is coming and the birds need some food, why not make a bird feeder from things you can find lying around?!  I always like projects where you don’t need to buy things. Here is a list of what we used for our bird feeder but feel free to use your imagination if you can not find exactly these things!

You will need:

• Milk Carton
• Paint (we used outdoor hobby paint)
• Plant stick in wood 30cm
• Glue
• Popsicle sticks
• Thread
• Knife or scissors
• Needle
• Birdseeds

How to make the house:

1. Clean out the milk carton and let it dry.
2. Paint it (we used black outdoor hobby paint).
3. Cut a square hole on both two sides. We made a 6x6cm hole 2 cm from the bottom edge.
4. Make a hole for the plant stick and put it in the center so the birds can sit on both sides.
5. Cut the popsicle sticks in half and glue them on the top to make the roof.
6. Make a hole in the top to put the tread and hang the house in a good place.
7. Fill it with bird seeds.

DONE!
