How to make a bird feeder with household items (step-by-step tutorial)
Get all the materials ready.
Now, take the paper cup and scissors. Cut the top portion of the cup out, including the rim.
Paint the cup using colours of your choice. Here we used watercolour for painting.
Let the paint dry completely.
Now, make two holes on the opposite sides of the cup as shown in the pics above.
Next, we are going to insert a cotton twine (or use any thread you have) through the holes so that we can hang the bird feeder. So, take a twine of appropriate length and insert both ends of the twine into each hole, securing the ends tightly to each hole.
Draw any patterns or designs you like on the birdfeeder and make it pretty.
And that’s it. The paper cup bird feeder is ready to be hung on your backyard tree.
