  • First, prepare "butterfly food" by mixing nine parts water with one part sugar. Depending on the size of your jar, you'll use either a tablespoon or a teaspoon. 16
  • Let the mixture boil until the sugar is dissolved, and then let it fully cool before putting it in the feeder.
  • Using your nail and hammer, punch a small hole in the lid of the jar. You're going to be cutting your sponge and you want your sponge to fit tightly through the hole, so keep it small. You can always make it bigger as necessary. 10
  • Cut your sponge into strings about one inch wide, and then pull it through the hole so there is about a half-inch of sponge sticking out from the top of the lid.
  • Remember, you want the sponge to stick tightly even when it's wet, so you might need to make it larger than you think. 1
