Instructions
Stand your empty cardboard toilet paper roll up in a vertical position.
Use your plastic or butter knife to spread a thick layer of peanut butter onto the toilet paper roll. Make sure it is nice and thick, because too thin and the seeds won’t stick well. **NOTE: the toilet paper roll may absorb oils from the peanut butter. This is normal and to be expected! ***
Pour the bird seed mix into your paper plate or shallow dish. Spread them out evenly.
Gently roll the toilet paper tube around in the seeds. Fill in blank spots by using your hands to push extra seeds into the peanut butter.
Thread your string or twine through the holes of the toilet paper. Tie the ends above the roll so that the roll hangs horizontally. Try not to brush any seeds off.
Put your stick through the toilet paper roll. You may want to use a dab of peanut butter to get the stick to stay inside the tube where you put it.
You’re ready! Put your bird feeder outside somewhere that you’ll be able to watch the birds enjoy!
