Operating procedure:
Prepare the paste: dilute a couple of tablespoons of flour in a small amount of cold water. Separately, boil about half a glass of water, then pour the diluted flour into it, bring to a boil over low heat, remove from heat and cool. Another type of glue for this crafts is not suitable, since only the paste is prepared from natural components that are harmless to living organisms (in this case, birds).

Using a stationery knife, cut out a heart-shaped piece from cardboard. We make a hole in it for the braid (we will hang the feeder from it). We thread the braid into the finished hole and make a loop. Then coat the workpiece with a thick layer of paste. Pour the “bird delicacy” (seeds, millet, grain) onto the paste and press lightly. Then we turn our generous heart over and do the same actions on the other side. Those who are not used to being lazy can create some kind of pattern from bird food. Birds will appreciate creativity with pleasure.

We hang the finished feeder on a branch of a bush or tree under our own window and enjoy caring for our bird brothers. After the birds have emptied the feeder, it can be refilled with provisions, having first cleared the remains of the dried paste.
Happy creativity!
