Orange Bowl Feeders Materials: 1 orange, 4 wooden sticks, knife, string or twine, and birdseed. Cut the orange in half, then scoop out all of the orange pulp until there are two orange peels left in the shape of a bowl. Carefully use a knife to poke four evenly spaced holes along the sides of the orange peel. Push a wooden stick through two of the holes that line up, and do the same with the other wooden stick, forming an X shape. Do the same steps with the other orange peel bowl. Next, cut 8 pieces of string or twine about 12 inches long, depending on how high or low you would like the feeder to hang. Tie one piece of string or twine to each end of the wooden sticks. This will create a more balanced feeder once you hang it up. Now fill the orange peel with birdseed, and find a place to hang it up!
Cardboard Heart Feeder Materials: Cardboard, string, scissors, butter knife, hole punch, peanut butter, and birdseed. Cut a heart shape from a piece of cardboard. You can cut out whatever shape you like the best. We used an empty cereal box for our cardboard material. Punch a hole in the middle of the heart. Using a butter knife, spread peanut butter on both sides of the heart, covering the entire shape. Next, cover the peanut butter with birdseed. Thread a string through the hole, then hang it up wherever the birds will find it!
