Craft- Bird Feeder

Make a bird feeder out of a cardboard milk carton. Buy a half gallon of milk in a cardboard carton. When your family is done with the milk clean the box thoroughly with soap and water. Cut most the top off, leaving only three or four inches on the bottom. Get some string. With scissors, poke hole in the middle section of the bottom. Pull string through. Tie on underside, then make loop on top. Place on hook under patio. Or find a tree and loop it through a branch. Once feeder is in place put bird seed in and wait for birds. This is meant for light weight birds. I like this type of feeder because squirrels don't like the light weight box as much as the sturdy ones.
