Simple Homemade Bird Feeders:

Spring has FINALLY sprung and there is nothing I love more than the sound of birds chirping in the trees. This craft is a small bird feeder that is quick, easy, and made from recycled and biodegradable materials.

Materials:
– Toilet paper rolls
– Peanut butter
– Bird seed
(or any kind of seeds or nuts you may have in your pantry)
– Butter knife
– Plate
Instructions:
– Begin by pouring your bird seed (or nuts and seeds) onto a plate.
-Now, use the butter knife to spread peanut butter all over the toilet paper tube. Don’t miss any spots!
– Roll your toilet paper tube around on the plate of bird seed.
– Simply find a tree branch and slide it through the toilet paper tube. Voila!
– Watch the spring birds enjoy their new snack.
