Recycled Soda Bottle Bird Feeder (homemade hummingbird nectar)

Recycled Soda Bottle Bird Feeder
Homemade hummingbird nectar
CRAFT MATERIALS:
Clean 1-liter soda bottle
Craft knife
2 wooden spoons
small eye screw
Length of twine for hanging

1. Start by drawing a 1/2-inch asterisk on the side of a clean 1-liter soda bottle, about 4 inches from the bottom. Rotate the bottle 90 degrees and draw another asterisk 2 inches from the bottom. Draw a 1-inch-wide circle opposite each asterisk

2. Use a craft knife to slit the asterisk lines and cut out the circles (a parent's job). Insert a wooden spoon handle first through each hole and then through the opposite asterisk

3. Remove the bottle cap and twist a small eye screw into the top of it for hanging.

4. Finally, fill your homemade hummingbird nectar into feeder with birdseed, recap it, and use a length of twine to hang it from a tree.
