What You Need to Make Bird Feeder

- Hot Glue Gun
- Twine
- Bird Seed
How to Make A Bird Feeder
Building the base of the bird feeder
Start by laying out your six jumbo sticks next to each other. This is going to be the bottom of the bird feeder.
Glue two sticks across the six base sticks towards the ends of each side of the sticks. This will be what holds your base together.
Add hot glue dots to the four corners of your sticks. Place sticks on top the opposite direction.
Building the Perch for the Bird Feeder
For the perch, you will add glue to the middle of the craft stick. Then glue it the opposite direction of the last sticks you had glued.
Continue gluing the sticks around the outside.
Continue Building the Walls of the Bird Feeder
For those trying to recreate the rainbow, you will place the blue sticks over your perch and for added support add a dot of glue on it as well as the corners.
Adding Rope to Hang Bird Feeder
- First, cut your rope or twine into four pieces, each about 2 feet long.
- Tie each piece to the corner of the Popsicle stick one level down. This will distribute the weight of the filled bird feeder from the top sticks.
- Lastly, you will want to tie the ends. Create a simple loop by not pulling the ends through the knot fully. This will make a loop.
Tip: If you use twine, the knots will stay with a simple knot. If you use a silkier rope (like the white, I used above), you may need to add a dot of hot glue after you know it to keep it in place.
You now set to fill it with bird seed.
Head out side, find the perfect place and hang your bird feeder.
Now, just wait to see what kind of birds your feeder attracts.
