Peanut Butter Bird House

So you finish your large jar of peanut butter, and then, you begin to think how many similar jars there must be in landfills.  And then, you get a very radical idea, what if you could take something that would polute the environment and turn it into something that doesn't, or even something that benefits the environment.  That's where I got my idea to make this bird house, take a plastic jug, a.k.a. environment killer, and change it into an elegant looking house for birds.  Pretty crafty, eh?

Step 1 Materials and Tools

The materials for this project are:
A large peanut butter jar (64 oz)
A small brass hook
A bolt and corresponding nut (my bolt was 1/4 inch thick and 1 1/2 inch long)
Wire or string to hang with
Sugru (optional)
Spray Paint

Tools:
Drill with a 1 1/4 inch bit, a bit that corresponds with your bolt, and a small drill bit 1/16-1/8 inch
Sandpaper 
Pliers (if you hang it with wire)
Sink and sponge

I really love birds. I think it's great that we attract all that we can to our living areas. I think I will construct several of these hoping to lure many birds into my area. Fun project.
