Cheap & Easy DIY Bird Feeder

This is a really simple and inexpensive project that can be completed within a few minutes. It might also be a good project to do with your little ones. I don’t really know since I have zero experience with kids… it actually might not be a good idea to let small children play with a jar of peanut butter and bird seed. I don’t know. It’s your call.

SUPPLIES

• toilet paper / paper towel roll
• peanut butter
• butter knife
• bowl
• bird seed

1. save your empty TP rolls, or paper towel rolls if you want them to be bigger // 2. cover the roll in peanut butter // 3. roll in bird seed // 4. slide onto thin branches

If you have bigger branches on your trees you can try cutting a slit in the rolls before covering them so they can go over the branches more easily.

I put two in my parents’ backyard, but I’m pretty sure the deer got more use out of them than the birds. Oh well, at least it fed something.
