How to make your own Nest Friends Carton Feeder!
This project is a great one to encourage the birds to come a visit your garden or outside space. It's really simple and great fun, particularly when you get to decorate you feeder!
You will need
• 1 x juice or milk carton
• Mixed bird seed
• Sticks (any you can find)
• Paint (poster paints) / Felt tip pens
• String
• Scissors
• Glue stick
• Any other fun craft materials!
What you need to do
Step 1
Take your carton and make sure it's empty and clean
Step 2
Being very careful, take some scissors and cut a large opening in the front. Then, pierce a hanging hole at the top.
Step 3
Now the fun part! Decorate your carton however you wish! Be really creative! Use poster paints, felt tips plus any other materials you have!
Step 4
Take the scissors again and carefully pierce another hole in the front, just below the opening, for your perching stick.
Step 5
Insert your perching stick and make sure it's nice a secure for the birds to perch on.
Step 6
Fill the bottom of the carton with your mixed bird seed
Step 7
Taking your string, tie through the hole at the top and secure.
Step 8
Hang your wonderful feeder in your favourite place, grab your spotter guide and wait for your favourite nest friends to visit!
