Materials Needed:

Instructions:
You might want to start out by protecting your work surface with newspaper or wax paper.
Cut a piece of string about 3 feet long. Tie one end of the sting to the center of the craft stick. Set this aside.
Remove the bottom of the cup. Spread peanut butter all over the outside of the paper cup. Roll the peanut butter covered cup in bird seeds until it is completely covered.
Lay the popsicle stick with the string on your work surface. Set the cup, upside down, centered on the craft stick. Pull the string up and through the bottom of the cup.
Now you can hang your paper cup bird feeder in a tree and watch for the birds!
