DIY Bird Feeder Monogram

Craft Basics

Grab a few supplies and make this DIY bird feeder monogram with your kids this summer.  It is a quick and easy project that is perfect for little hands.  Plus after it is up in the tree, you can bird watch for a while as your little friends eat the seed from your monogram.

DIY-bird-feeder-monogram-Crafts-UnleashedSupplies needed to make your own DIY bird feeder monogram:supply-list

  • Paper Mache Letter of Your Choice (I used an 8 inch variety)
  • Bird Seed
  • Honey
  • Twine
  • Small Screwdriver
  • Large Sewing Needle

DIY-bird-feeder-monogram-Crafts-Unleashed-3Start by poking a couple of holes in your letter with a small screwdriver or ice pick.  The placement of these is going to depend on your letter.  Try to think of locations that will allow your letter to hang evenly.

DIY-bird-feeder-monogram-Crafts-Unleashed-4Thread the jute twine through a needle and push it through the paper mache letter. Tie off the ends.  Once you go through both sets of holes you will have a hanger for your DIY bird feeder monogram.

DIY-bird-feeder-monogram-Crafts-Unleashed-5It is time to put on the bird seed.  Spread the honey in a thin layer on your surface then add on the bird seed.  Be sure all areas are covered.  This part is messy so I would suggest doing it on a large cookie sheet outside.

DIY-bird-feeder-monogram-Crafts-Unleashed-6You can literally hang your DIY bird feeder monogram up immediately.

DIY-bird-feeder-monogram-Crafts-Unleashed-1The birds will thank you and the paper mache will likely dissolve in the weather and go back into the earth.  It is the perfect kids craft!

DIY-bird-feeder-monogram-Crafts-Unleashed-6How many DIY bird feeder monograms will be hanging from your trees this summer?  You could get creative and spell a word or let each child make their own initial.  Either way, the kids will love this fun summer boredom buster.
