Bird Feeder
With the warm weather, we are spending more and more time outdoors.
There is nothing we like more than having a picnic in the park under the sun, sometimes until the birds arrive and we can share our sandwich with them... we are becoming friends !
That is the reason for our handicraft.
We are going to make a lovely bird feeder...to give them a nice feed of birdseed!
MATERIAL
Apli colour sticks
Apli hemp twine
Apli white glue
Apli scissors
STEP 1
We make a square as big as the sticks allow and stick their ends together.
STEP 2
We cover the distance between the ends with more sticks...we can combine them any way we like!
Afterwards, we turn over the piece.
STEP 3
We begin to intertwine the different-coloured sticks and stick them by the ends with the Apli white glue.
We have made this in fours but you can do it whatever way you like ;)
STEP 4
We continue making more...
STEP 5
...until we use almost all the sticks up... we have lots of room here to put out a lot of food for our friends! :D
STEP 6
Now let's give it a final touch, adding two pieces of Apli hemp twine strands to hang it wherever we wish.
In the countryside...
Or on a tree in the park!
The most important thing is for our friends to come!
Hey Mrs. parrot! ;-)
