Make your own Tuna-Can Bird Feeder

jalex

A week's worth of cat-food cans is nearly all you need to make a feeder that's almost worth migrating for!




Tuna-Can Feeder
What you'll need:
paintbrush
clean tuna or cat-food cans (1 large, 7 small)
DecoArt No-Prep Metal Paint (brown, yellow and white)
Tin Magnetic Board Flower from Plaid
sponge
heavy-duty self-adhesive Velcro
hammer
4 nails
bailing wire

How to make them:
1. Using brush, paint large can brown and small cans and magnet board yellow. When paint is dry, apply a second coat. Let dry.

2. Dip sponge into brown paint. Blot excess on scrap paper, and dab sponge in the middle of board to create a round sunflower center. Wait about 15 minutes, or until dry.

3. Place large can on flower's center and 1 small can on each petal. Stick Velcro pieces on the bottoms of the cans and the places on board where cans will sit. Attach cans to boa








rd.

4. Hammer 4 nails through the board on opposite sides of the brown can, in a square formation. Insert about 1 yd of wire down through 1 hole and up through the opposite hole. Repeat with another 1-yd length of wire, inserting it through remaining holes.

5. Gather the wire ends above the feeder and fold them to make a loop. Cut 12-in. wire and wrap it completely around the loop.

6. Fill cans with birdseed and hang feeder on a tree.
