This project is so fun and can be done in one afternoon making it a great family project.
Isn't it pretty? I have been holding on to this orange juice bottle for 2 weeks now trying to figure out how to turn it into a birdfeeder.
The process is pretty self explanitory and I included lots of pictures!
The Parts:
Mod Podge
Exterior Varnish (only use over fabric and ric rac after the mod podge has completely dried)
fabric scraps of your choice
ric rac
ribbon
pencil
orange juice bottle
drill and drill bits
bolt and butterfly nut or anchor (mine is the anchor)
hot glue gun (for ric rac)
plastic tray - mine came from the top of our coffee but you could use a plant pot water catcher thing)
Be sure to clean up the edges so the birds don't eat the plastic.

ReplyDeleteVery cool, feeder, but , the only thing I see that could be a problem would be where the ribbons go through the top. I think I would put glue or culking around the holes or glue or screw another top on it so the rain and snow wouldn't get in it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvelous idea! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteNeat idea! I don't know that I would go to all the bother of ribbons and such. But I really like the basic concept. :)
ReplyDeleteThank You for the great idea. I have been looking for cheap and inventive ways to make a bird feeder and this is perfect and I love how it's earth friendly, as well. I will have some very happy and well fed birds this year :-) .
