Bird Feeders – Frame Platform

Items Needed

  • Wooden frame (new or repurposed)
  • Acrylic paints and brushes
  • Plastic canvas sheet
  • Strong glue (e.g., Tacky Glue)
  • String, yarn, or twine for hanging
  • Birdseed
  • Optional: Tacks, outdoor sealant

Instructions

  1. Paint the wooden frame with acrylic paints and let it dry completely. Optional: Apply outdoor sealant to protect the paint.
  2. Cut the plastic canvas slightly smaller than the frame and glue it to the bottom using strong glue. Let it dry fully. Optional: Use tacks to better secure the canvas.
  3. Thread string through one corner of the feeder and tie securely. Repeat for the other three corners. Leave 12–14 inches of string for hanging.
  4. Gather the strings above the center of the frame and tie them into one secure knot.
  5. Fill the feeder with birdseed.
