DIY - Dollar Tree Bird Feeder

Miss Meghan Marie found an image of the cutest bird bath made to look like a birds nest, so naturally we tried to remake it. The best part of this project, is we found all our materials at out local Dollar Tree! Since this was Meghan's project, I asked if she would write us a tutorial! Thanks Meghan, you doll!

Materials you need:

Wreath
Bowl
Fake Flowers
Twine
Glue Gun 
Scissors

1. Cut two 48 inches pieces of twine. Make a cross over the wreath with the twine. With the hot glue gun, glue the twine to the edges of the wreath. 

2. Turn the wreath over so the twine is now underneath the wreath. Take all four ends of the twine and tie it in a knot at the very top. (Make sure its even on all sides so the bird feeder isn't lop sided.) With the excess string above the knot, tie it into a loop so that you can hang it. 

3. Glue the flowers and leaves where ever you please to make it your own. 
4. Place your bowl inside the wreath, put in the bird seed, hang it up and enjoy!

Thank you Meghan!

Some hints I would add-
-If you want to hang it from your porch over hang or what not, have the string be a little longer. Ours are hanging from a shepherd hook in the yard.
- We did not attach the bowl to the wreath so we could fill up the bird feed easier. We will see if that was smart or not when the first bird lands on it!
