Spoon-feed your winged neighbors with this homemade birdseed dispenser.



Materials

* Clean 1-liter soda bottle

* Craft knife

* 2 wooden spoons

* small eye screw

* Length of twine for hanging

Instructions

1.Start by drawing a 1/2-inch asterisk on the side of a clean 1-liter soda bottle, about 4 inches from the bottom. Rotate the bottle 90 degrees and draw another asterisk 2 inches from the bottom. Draw a 1-inch-wide circle opposite each asterisk.

2.Use a craft knife to slit the asterisk lines and cut out the circles (a parent's job). Insert a wooden spoon handle first through each hole and then through the opposite asterisk.

3.Remove the bottle cap and twist a small eye screw into the top of it for hanging.

4.Finally, fill your feeder with birdseed, recap it, and use a length of twine to hang it from a tree.
