How to Make a Bird Feeder Using Plastic Bottle

Step 1:

Start by cutting the top and bottom parts of the 2-liter plastic bottle with a blade.

Step 2:

Make two markings on the middle of the plastic bottle about 2 inches apart, then form into a rectangle. Cut it out using a pair of sharp scissors.

Step 3:

Get the 5 liter plastic bottle and lay it flat on your work surface. Take the 2 liter plastic bottle and trace it on the center of the 5-liter bottle. Repeat on the back. Carefully cut the circles using a pair of scissors.

Step 4:

Insert the 2 liter bottle into the hole and check if it fits well. Make sure the opening is on the bottom.

Step 5:

Measure the stick. It should be longer than the 2 liter bottle in the center.

Step 6:

Tape the openings of the 2 liter bottle with tape.

Step 7:

Make a hole on the bottom of the 2 liter bottle on both sides, then in the center of the cap. You can hit the tip of a screwdriver and use it to make a hole. Once done, insert the stick in the 2 holes.

Step 8:

Insert a cord into the hole of the cap and tie it to make a hook.

Step 9:

Fill the bottle with bird food then tightly close the lid.
