- Age Guideline: 3 Years and Up
- Time Required: 30 minutes (Does not include drying time)
The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.
Materials Needed:
- Plastic Jug (From Water, Milk, Vinigar, etc.)
- Paint
- Clear Acrylic Sealer
- Bird Seed
- Paint Brush
- Scissors, Utility Knife, or Other Cutting Tool
Instructions:
Make sure the plastic bottle is clean and dry. Use a pair of scissors, utility knife, or other cutting tool to make a hole in the side of the plastic jug. Make sure it is big enough for the bird to fit into the hole. From Sherri: You may want to sand down any sharp edges.
You can now paint the plastic jug however you like. Let the paint dry and then spray it with a few coats of the clear acrylic sealer. Let it dry.
Put loose bird seed or a molded bird feeder into the plastic jug bird feeder. You can now hang the bird feeder in your yard. You can use a shepard's hook style plant hanger by simply placing the handle of the jug onto the hook. You can also hang it from a tree or any other place using some twine.
