A Gift for Your Favorite Birdwatcher

I came across a project from Birds and Blooms that looks easy enough for me to make…all of you know how I love making my own gifts (especially on a limited budget). This project is a Platform Birdfeeder and can be made for less than $10, or possibly cheaper if you have scrap supplies sitting around.

One year I gave a Log Suet Bird feeder that my husband helped me to make, along with a recipe for suet. The platform birdfeeder above requires no recipe, just a little tool time and some bird seed and it makes a great gift. For all the instructions and tips, visit Birds & Blooms Extra. With the detailed instructions, even a non-handyman like me should be able to make this.

I will be scouring the internet for other great gift ideas since Christmas is right around the corner. If you know of some simple projects that you would like to share, leave a comment! Let’s all make this a homemade Christmas!
