Kids Corner...

Owl Bird Feeder

You'll need:
  • Recycled milk or juice cartons
  • White paint
  • A permanent black marker
  • String or ribbon for hanging
How To:
  1. Apply two coats of white water based paint.
  2. After paint had dried we cut eyes from a piece of cereal box, applied with glue and then drew details with the black permanent marker.
  3. Make a hole in the top with a hole punch or something sharp, and hang!
  4. Cut out the wings and openings with a craft knife or scissors, an initial step that I would recommend doing for younger children.
Enjoy!
