We had a free Wednesday afternoon - no Confirmation (the banquet is next week and Pentecost Sunday - also Confirmation Sunday here - is Mother's Day this year - thanks to the early Easter) and no LYO - so the Man-Cub and I had time for a little craftiness...
This was a quick and easy craft - very satisfying - and the birds are starting to return and there's very little for them to eat - everything is still so brown and cold...
We gathered up our supplies which consists of a little wooden blank shape - you can get these at Stuff-Mart for just a few cents - a paper brad - a paper cup - permanent markers and some bird seed.
Drill a small hole in one end of the wooden shape.
Push the brad through the center of the bottom of the cup.
When the decoration is finished, you'll push this through the hole in the wooden shape and spread out the ends to hold it tight - sorry I didn't take a picture of that part.
I don't know why the Man-Cub's snow man is brown...
Attach your little cup full of seeds...
and set is outside to feed the birds...
so, why didn't you get a sun-shape or something like that to entice the warmth to return - the snowman just begs one more snow (gosh, i hope not!!) fun, though, i'm sure - especially if the birdies are right there on your deck. love, k
ReplyDeleteLet us know how many birds you get. I guess you could make several of these. E
