Feeding trough for birds: tools and materials

Crafts from chopsticks for sushi make it easy with their own hands. Each of us in the childhood made feeders for birds, carving them from bottles or boxes from juice or milk. And what if you try to do something more complicated?

Materials:

• 3 tin cans from soda or copper sheets (they can be bought in a building store);
• 7 sticks;
• Scissors for metal;
• Pencil and ruler;
• Drill and drills;
• Stationery buttons and carnations;
• pliers.

Bird feeder: how to make

Use scissors to cut tin to remove the necks and bases of the three cans (if you use them).

Make a cut along each side to make 3 flat rectangular sheets. Each should be about 217 x 88 mm in size.

It is necessary to flatten one sheet. Drill four holes in diameter, like the sticks, so that they can be pushed in. Cut two strips and also make holes in them.

Tightly wrap the edges of the sheet with two sticks. Trim off everything that sticks out if it hinders you. Of the sticks for sushi, crafts are usually obtained neat, if the master has skillful hands. But if sticks stick out crookedly, it is better to cut them.

Take one of the remaining sheets and cut out two rectangles measuring 127 mm x 39 mm.

Fold each rectangle twice, bending 13 mm on each side to form a long thin strip.

Drill holes through the ends of each strip with a diameter of a stick. Insert the strips at the ends in the same way as you did the roof.

We proceed to create the bottom of the trough. Take the last sheet and make from it an even rectangle. Cut out from a tin, as from a paper, a box with low walls. On the edges, mark the places of the incisions. When you hold them with scissors, you can bend the bottoms so that you get a box. Then it's better to draw hot glue or PVA around the edges, or bend them so that the birds are not injured when they treat themselves to refreshments.

Fold the corners with pliers, so that the box does not open, or fasten it with a stapler. An ordinary stapler can pierce a tin can - the thickness of it is small.

Drill holes in the walls so that you can push through the clerical button through them.

When you made strips for the roof skeleton, you should have had some tinplate left, use it to make it possible to make attachments for one more wand on which the birds can land.

If the hole in which the screw is screwed in is too wide, the sushi sticks will be very useful. Insert it into the hole and fill the remaining space with glue. When everything is dry, trim the excess. Now in this place you can again drill a hole.

Wands are convenient to use to mix the paint. Usual gouache in a small jar or paint for walls or floors. Crafts from Chinese chopsticks for sushi - not the only option, how to use waste.

Clean out hard-to-reach places? Wrap the wand with a napkin or cloth and put it where it was difficult to get to remove dust and accumulations of dirt. Also with the help of them it is convenient to wash bottles. Stick a stick into the sponge - and a convenient tool is available to clean hard-to-reach places.
