DIY: Make Your Own Bird Feeders

Looking for something to make with the kids this summer? Kids LOVE making things so here is an idea to get you and your kids busy.

I remember making a homemade bird feeder with my daughter when she was younger. Not only was it fun to make, it was also fun to watch the birds eat the seeds. We used a pine cone and then added peanut butter all over it. Next we added the birdseed and hung it with a string. If you enjoy watching birds, this is a great way to encourage them to come to your house.
