Who wouldn’t like the sound of a happy bird in their garden or backyard? It’s so nice to wake up in the morning listening to their songs and cute sounds. So make them feel welcome into your garden by offering them a nice bird feeder to use. Making one is quite simple. Here are 10 wonderful ideas.

To make this cute bird feeder you’ll need some bird seed, water, a small envelope of knox gelatin, twine or string, cookie cutters or molds and wax paper. Mix the gelatin with the water and stir until they simmer and the gelatin dissolves. Let it cool for a minute and add the birdseed. Lay the cookie cutters on wax paper and fill them half way with your mix. Push the twine down into the birdseed and let everything dry overnight. Remove the cookie cutters and let the birds enjoy the feeder.{found on eighteen25}.

You can make a very lovely bird feeder from a plate and a bowl. You’ll have to drill a hole in the center of both and they insert the bolt. Use a washer and glue to keep everything secure.
