Christmas Tree Bird Feeder

The weekend after New Year’s Eve is usually when the Christmas tree comes down in our house. I usually cut it up and add it to my brush/compost pile where it slowly decomposes and also provides some winter cover for the small song birds that spend winter in our yard.

But this year I decided to decorate it one more time, this time as a bird feeder. I took all the ornaments and lights off, left it in its sturdy stand and placed it in a good spot in our yard. Then I made some bird seed decorations. The whole project only took about an hour.re to edit.
