Instruction
1. You can get cardboard for your feeding trough, for example, using a box from under dairy products. First of all you need to cut side edges at box top on which manufacturers usually write "to press". You have to connect other edges to the help of glue or the stapler. But you should consider that glue has to be not really liquid that it did not spread on box inside. Therefore it is better to fasten edges with the stapler after all.
2. Further you should bend the top basis of a box so that it had the pyramidal form. You have to fasten the bent part again with the stapler that the top basis did not get out of the necessary shape.
3. The following that you need to make is to cut out an opening in a front part of a box with the help of a stationery knife or scissors. It is more preferable to choose, of course, a knife as it is much more convenient to them to work.
4. Then you should make a through opening in the lower part of a box. You will insert a perch that it was more convenient to birds to sit into this opening, and the feeding trough did not turn over.
5. The main design is prepared by you. Now it is possible to start registration that the feeding trough looked more presentably. Cut out four strips from color cardboard. You have to paste over with them the cut-out opening where birds will fly.
6. Also cut out a rectangle which will serve as a roof for a feeding trough from the same cardboard. Paste the cut-out preparation on its place.
7. Further you need to paste over sidewalls. It is possible to make it, using the same cardboard.
8. The feeding trough is ready. It was necessary only to make fastening to hang up it on a tree branch. For this purpose in the top you need to make two openings and to stretch in them a wire or a thin rope.
