DIY Shadow-Box Bird Feeder

Creating a DIY shadow-box bird feeder can be a fun and rewarding project for bird enthusiasts of all ages! Not only does it provide a safe spot for our feathered friends to snack and enjoy the view, but it also adds a touch of charm to your outdoor space. Sit back, relax, and watch as your little visitors flock to enjoy their new dining spot in your garden. Happy crafting and happy bird-watching!

Step 1: Drill a 1/16-inch-wide pilot hole into the center of the outer-top section of a 15-inch-square barnwood shadow box. Twist a basic metal screw hook into the hole.

Step 2: Saw off a four-inch length of a 3/4-inch-diameter dowel rod. Center it atop the bottom-inner section of the shadow box and adhere with epoxy, following the package instructions. Let set for 24 hours.

Step 3: Use the epoxy to adhere the dish of a small terra-cotta planter (ours is five inches in diameter) atop the dowel; let set for another 24 hours. Hang the feeder with twine, fill it with birdseed—and watch your feathered friends flock.
