Bird’s Nesting Material Holder

Spring has sprung and birds are nesting. Fabric scraps can make wonderful nesting material.

Instead of a sewing machine, it’s time to get out the power tools.

Materials

• cigar box
• a scrap of chicken wire
• skinny wooden dowel or a straight twig
• wood glue
• 2 small scraps of wood
• 2 cup hooks
• 1” wood screws
• twine, for hanging
• bird nesting material

Be sure to check out the tips from Practically Functional for what scraps to include and what not to include in the nesting material.
