Make a milk carton into a Birdhouse or a BirdFeeder.  The size of the opening will determine if it is suitable for a feeder or house.  This is an easy craft for kids.

• Milk carton, any size.
• Dowel or pencil for perch
• Stapler
• Scissors
• Acrylic paint / brush
• String or wire for hanging

1. Wash and dry selected milk carton.
2. Staple top shut.
3. If making a "house" cut the hole only 1 - 11/2 " wide on one side only.  If making a feeder, make a hole that is about 21/2 " wide or cut a square hole (make hole on both sides).
4. Make a tiny hole, on both sides,  to slide perch into.
5. Paint birdhouse / feeder and then decorate with paint or sticky back foam.  (* for good paint adhesion, if you are concerned about a lasting project, paint carton with gesso first, so paint will adhere to carton well.)
6. Attach a wire or string to hang birdhouse/ feeder.
