Many in school and at home make feeders and birdhouses, and then hang them on trees. The designs are usually simple - a few planks are hammered together or a hole is made in a milk bag. The main thing is that feathered friends have a place to shelter and refresh themselves. But you can combine several useful things: feed the birds, decorate a summer cottage or plot by making a beautiful feeder, and keep your children busy by introducing them to work on the craft. So, how to make an original beautiful feeder so that it pleases both feathered guests and people?
Instructions
Step 1
Feeder frame.
Make a frame out of wooden planks. Attach a metal net on both sides, leaving a gap on top for feeding. At the bottom of the feeder, parallel to the net, attach poles so that the birds can reach the treat. Feed should be tucked away between metal nets. Take pieces of bacon, oatmeal cookies, etc.
Step 2
Feeder decoration. The most delicious and elegant feeders can be made from cones coated with condensed milk or honey, and rolled in seeds, cereals and nuts. Any tree will look stylish in such decoration. The composition can be supplemented with beads of berries and bacon, which birds love so much.
Step 3
Even more original feeding troughs-decorations in the form of hearts, stars, boats, cars. Cut out figures from thick cardboard, brush with flour paste, add seeds.
Step 4
Suspension feeder. Any beautiful unnecessary thing (box, old toy service, box) can become an excellent feeding trough. The main thing is to find a place for food. You can hang the feeder on a chain, ribbons, bow.
Step 5
Feeder cup. Very simple but effective. A beautiful cup (preferably with a saucer) is the basis of the feeder. Glue the saucer to the cup, put it on a platform, make a roof up from two planks so that snow and rain do not fall. Apply food.
Step 6
Feeder block. An excellent multi-storey feeder comes out of the old system unit.
Step 7
Feeder ЗD. Different volumetric figures are constructed from colored wire. They put large pieces of food in them.
Step 8
Feeder pumpkin and feeder watermelon. Cut holes in the pumpkin, it turns out like a house with a roof, make windows. A great option for celebrating Halloween.
Step 9
Feeder geometry. Punch holes in children's blocks of various shapes. You can glue the figures together to get houses. Whichever version of the feeder you choose, the birds will thank you for the treat with a ringing chirp.
