Ghost Bird Feeder Halloween Craft

Feeding the birds is one of our favorite acts of kindness! We got creative and made a ghost bird feeder to hang outside with our other Halloween decorations.

This Halloween craft is made from things you probably have in your kitchen right now!

How to Make a Bird Feeder

• clean milk carton
• white paint
• black permanent marker
• pipe cleaner
• birdseed
• scissors
• hole punch

We started by using regular scissors to cut an opening in the front of the milk carton.  We started a little bit up from the bottom to make sure we could add bird seed.

We painted the milk carton white and let it dry. It took a couple of coats of paint. When it was dry we used a marker to draw the eyes and outline the mouth of the ghost.

 Then I punched two holes in the top of the ghost bird feeder and filled it with bird seed. We found a place to hang it and I twisted the pipe cleaner around the branch and through the holes to create a hanger.

Such a fun way to upcycle a milk carton and do a little good at the same time!
