Supplies: 22” long birch log- approximately three inches in diameter, drill, wood glue, wire hanger, small wooden dowels or wooden skewers, screw hook, wire cutters, small pliers, peanut butter or suet Steps: Snip dowels into six - six inch lengths. Randomly drill six holes one half inch deep around the log. Dip dowels in wood glue and firmly insert into the drilled holes. Let the inserted dowels dry thoroughly - continue inserting around the log. To make the hanger, snip the long bottom wire from a clothes hanger and use pliers to form a loop on each end. Drill a hole into one end of the log and screw in the hook, attach the hanger wire through the loop. Spread dabs of peanut butter directly on the surface of the log above each of the dowels, hang outside and enjoy bird watching from the comfort of home. Steps: Thread twenty-four inches of beads onto the twine, leaving an extra 10” of twine on each end of the garland. To make the tassel, wrap twine around the cardboard (as shown above), carefully remove twine from cardboard to form a loop. Tie and knot a piece of twine around the loop to secure the strand in the loop. Tie and knot another piece of twine 1cm below this to make top of the tassel. Cut open the bottom of the loop and trim the fringe ends evenly. To finish tie the tassels onto each end of your bead garland.
Supplies: Container of wooden beads, scissors, both kitchen twine and jute twine, a piece of cardboard approximately three inches by five inches.
An alternative is to use 30 mm hole bit and fill voids with prepared suet or a mixture of peanut butter and seeds.
