Are you interested in attracting birds to your garden or backyard and providing them with a feeding station? Then this DIY is for you! Because you can create a unique and a functional bird feeder using an empty sea moss gel jar.
In this tutorial, we will share with you a detailed step by step guide to make a DIY bird feeder.
Materials Needed:
- Sea Moss Gel Jar (clean and empty)
- Twine or rope
- Scissors
- Drill with drill bit
- Birdseed
Step 1: Prepare the Sea Moss Gel Plastic Jar
Begin by cleaning and drying the sea moss gel plastic jar. Remove any labels or adhesive residue.
Step 2: Mark the Holes
Use a marker or pen to mark the locations where you will drill the holes in the jar. You can choose to create a pattern or randomly distribute the holes.
Step 3: Drill the Holes
Using a drill with a drill bit, carefully drill holes through the plastic jar where you marked them. The size of the holes will depend on the type of birdseed you plan to use. Generally, a ¼-inch drill bit is appropriate.
Step 4: Create the Feeder Hanger
To create the hanger for the jar, tie a length of twine or rope around the neck of the jar, just under the lid.
Step 5: Fill the Jar with Birdseed
Fill the jar with birdseed, leaving some space at the top. Be sure to use a type of birdseed that is appropriate for the species of birds in your area.
Step 6: Hang Your Bird Feeder
Tie the other end of the twine or rope to a tree branch or other sturdy structure. Hang the feeder in a location that is visible to birds but not too close to potential predators.
Now that your DIY bird feeder is complete, sit back and watch the birds come to feed. Depending on the location of your feeder, you may attract a variety of bird species. Keep in mind that it may take a few days or weeks for birds to discover and start using your feeder.
