Halloween is a great time of year to get creative in the garden. Why not have a go at making this Severed Hand bird feeder for your garden birds.

What You Need:

Novelty Halloween Plastic Severed Hand (£1 from Tesco)

Tools Required:

Drill, Scissors or Stanley Knife

Step 1: Collect Your Materials

I found the plastic novelty Halloween severed hand for £1 at Tesco. I already had the string and BBQ skewer (not shown) left over from another project.

Step 2: Draw THe Outline of the Seed Ports

Using a pencil or marker pen draw out the outline of the seed ports. This will help you cut it out neatly.

Step 3: Cut Out the Seed Ports

Carefully cut out the seed ports using scissors or a stanley knife. DO NOT just use a blade as I am doing in the image above (tut tut!!)

Step 4: First Seed Port Cut Out

When you’ve finished cutting around the outline the seed port should look like this.

Step 5:

Cut out the seed port on the opposite side of the wrist.

Step 6: Drill Hole Through Finger and Create Hanging Loop

Drill a 4mm diameter hole through the top of the middle finger. Cut a 200mm length of string. Thread one end through the finger and then tie both ends together in a knot.
