Kid Made Window Bird Feeder

Emma's Homemade Birdfeeder (4)

Way back in December, Emma decided to make a window bird feeder for the chickadees and finches that lived in our tree. Being the lazy mama that I am, I check on pinterest to see if there were any bird feeders that she could make on her own. Here are the two that inspired Emma's creation.

We all LOVE how Emma's bird feeder turned out. We loved it so much she made a second one and and documented it with photos, then went and wrote up the words later to create a tutorial. 

The lazy mama that I am, I have not gotten around to posting her tutorial until now (I have totally given up all hopes of winning mama of the year). 

Enough from me. Here is Emma and her Kid Made Bird Feeder Tutorial.
