This is a neat little project that someone can do in no time, it's excellent for kids and the birds will love you for it. Since the snow is here I thought why not give something to the birds that forgot to fly south!!

so crafts are all about having fun, so if the parents are daring enough why not let the kiddies play with their food!!

step 1
spread the peanut butter onto the tube (I used a butter knife). Take note that if you spread it on too thin you won't have as many seeds sticking, be a little generous were not making a sandwich!

step 2
coat the tube with bird seed. Have fun and get the seeds on there! I rolled the tube on a plate but I also tried putting it on with my hands, it's your choice!

step 3
and for the last step tie some string through the tube making sure you leave enough hanging space so the bids can sit comfy!


It's a Feast for the Wild!!
