Easy Platform Bird Feeder

February is National Bird Feeding Month! With that in mind, I made this super simple super cute platform feeder and my backyard birds love it!
You need : wood cut to the size you choose -- screen for the bottom of the feeder -- chain for hanging -- S hooks for hanging -- decorative hooks (optional) -- paint -- Outdoor Clear Coat -- Wood Glue -- Wood Screws
Glue and screw the wood together to make a box ...(more detailed instructions on my blog)
Sand the edges & sides!
Paint your box...when it's dry use outdoor clear sealer to protect it. (I put on 2 coats)
Add your decorative hardware...
Add a double piece of screen and staple into place...then trim the edges...
Add 4 equal lengths of chain to each corner...the pieces will meet and be connected by a S hook...then a smaller piece of chain connects the S hook to a shepherds hook or a tree limb...
My little birds are happy happy happy...
Come over All Things Heart and Home for more detailed instructions! Have a cozy day my friends xo
