1 - Start by washing your empty bottle and removing the label (if you have trouble removing it, soak the container in warm water or use nail varnish remover to remove any remaining glue).
2 - Before you start cutting with the cutter, use a marker to make marks on both sides of the bottle. The aim is to ensure that the spoon you insert into the slots runs horizontally across the bottle. You can put as many spoons as you like, but make sure you leave enough room for the birds to land if you want to have a chance of spotting them ;)
3 - Once you've made your markings, cut a slot in the bottle using your cutter.
4 - Insert the bamboo spoons into the slots.
5 - To hold the spoons firmly in place, if your slots are a little too wide, you can apply a dot of hot glue to the slot. Note that you can only do this on the handle side of the spoon. On the other side of the spoon, the seeds must be able to drain.
6 - Once all the spoons are in place, fill your bottle with bird seed.
7 - Now all you have to do is hang it on a branch in your garden or on your balcony. Just tie a piece of string around the stopper. Your bird feeder is ready! Wait a few hours for the birds to find their new canteen, and once they've got used to it, they won't want to do without it.
