Introduction: How to Upcycle Bottles Into Birdfeeders

About: Hey, I love doing crafts and art. I love animals, and all things fun. -A

I wanted to show you how to make a birdfeeder out of old bottles, hope you like it!

Supplies

You'll need:


Birdfeed


Plastic milk jug ( or a paper milk carton or plastic bottle )


Glue


Aluminum plate


String or wire


Scissors or knife



OPTIONAL:


Tinfoil ( if you don't have an aluminum plate, you can craft one with tinfoil)


Wire (for attaching the bottle to the foil or aluminum plate)


Or you can use a paper plate in place of the foil or aluminum plate, just don't let it get wet!


OR you can use a plastic container, like I did.

Step 1: Birdfeed Holes

First, cut holes shaped like arches on all four sides of the bottle. This is so when you fill up the bottle with birdfeed, the holes will make the birdfeed come out onto the container, so the birds can eat it.

Step 2: Almost Done

Then, poke holes in the bottom of the bottle and the container so you can attach the bottle and container together with the wire. Of course, if you have glue, just glue the bottle and container together. Then, poke two holes in the top of the bottle, and thread the string through so you can hang the birdfeeder.

Step 3: Finishing Up

Then, put the birdfeed into the container, you don't want to over fill it so the birdfeed comes out of the container. You also may have to use a funnel.
