AdventurerKatziDo you also feed birds in winter? Then this craft idea would certainly be worth an action. From an empty Tetrapack it is cut and glued. With a wooden stick as landing area for the birds it is already complete. Creatively you can romp out with waterproof colors and after drying only the food has to be filled. If you have found a place in the garden, the suspension is also fast attached. Alternatively you can attach the bird house to a plug. In addition there is also an offer.
Look at the individual steps, they are explained in detail and illustrated. Have fun trying out.

Get your craft paper ready.
This is the template for an empty and rinsed beverage box.
First place the box with the front (see picture) upwards on the table. Now draw the lines for the cut. Begin on the front with a line that is 4cm from the bottom edge. Measure the lines best with a ruler.
Then you paint two lines on the side, each one on the left and right side an extension of the front.
Measure 4cm from the top on each side and mark the position that you now connect narrowly to the top. Repeat the recording of the diagonally running line on the other side.
Now you cut the lines with the cutter knife. Attention: Be supported by an adult - risk of injury!
A variable opening is created, which now gently folds upwards.
Fold the opening as far as it goes back, then knock the box over.
Possibly existing moisture in the tetrapack dries it with a kitchen crepe.
Then cut off the tip on the triangular sides (stretched line).
Use a pair of scissors for this.
Now bend the side parts of the lid inside and press the front on it. The front now closes flush with the height of the oblique cut surface. Fix the sides with some glue or tesa film. Attention when handling the hot glue - risk of injury!
The glued blank of the bird feed house is ready.
Put on a Mahler coat.
Now you put an old newspaper under the blank and paint it with acrylic paint.
Tip: Drip a tink of paint on a screw glass lid. This makes working with paint easier.
The paint may not cover enough on the first paint. Then let the paint dry and then paint another layer over it.
When the blank is dried, you push the scissors into the lower part of the carton and cut out a hole. For this, you cut out radially from the puncture point and press the incisions with a pen inwards.
At the same place on the back you repeat the process.
Then push the wooden stick through the box. The wooden stick looks out at the front and back and sits tight so that the birds can land on it.
Take the punch and punch two holes in the top fold of the box.
Alternative: In order to hang the feed house, you now drill a hole with the chestnut drill into the roof of the feed house.
Tip: If the chestnut drill is turned when pierced, it will work easier.
Thread the package line through the two punched holes and knot them.
Alternative: Now cut off a package line with a length of 20cm and thread it into the ear of a large, thick needle. Then thread the cord through the drilled holes and knot the ends.
The suspension for your bird feed house is ready.
Now fill the bottom of the forage with loose bird food.
The birdhouse is ready.
Tip: Fill the bird food also with the screw cap. For this you use a funnel (alternatively fold one out of paper) because this way the food slips from above as required. The upper part of the carton is, so to speak, the storage container, which is protected from rain by the screw cap.
Finally, she hangs the forage house to a sheltered place in the garden.
Have fun doing crafts and watching birds!
