Wine bottles provide an elegant, long-lasting feeder for outdoor spaces. This DIY project combines style with functionality.
Materials Needed:
- Empty wine bottle
- Wooden or bamboo stick for perch
- Small plant saucer or shallow bowl
- Birdseed
- Corkscrew or drill for holes
- Rope or chain for hanging
Instructions:
- Clean and dry the wine bottle thoroughly.
- Drill or puncture a small hole near the bottom and insert the perch.
- Attach a saucer or small bowl beneath the hole to catch falling seed.
- Fill the bottle with birdseed.
- Use rope or a chain to hang the feeder securely from a tree or hook.
Tips:
- Avoid placing the feeder directly in sunlight, which may overheat the bottle and seeds.
