Build a Rustic Bird Feeder


Materials

  • Twigs 
  • Wood board (for base)

Procedure

Using a nail gun, secure a twig on each corner of the base. You can also use wood glue, wire, etc. to attach the twigs. Next, secure smaller twigs between the four twigs to maintain the spacing of the twigs and ensure stability. 
Add roof twigs one-by-one. Try to include a twig with added growth that birds can use a perch before feeding. Finally, attach twigs around the base of the feeder to camouflage the base.
