Sombrero Birdfeeder

This is a cute recycled craft for "Fiesta" Bible School or if you're having a Dora the Explorer or Go Diego Go party, this could be a decoration for your party or craft for the kids to do at the party.

Approximate Time half hour

Supplies:

• yogurt container
• cottage cheese container lid
• string (weather proof) if hanging outside
• spray paint
• acrylic paint and paintbrush
• hot glue gun and hot glue
• drill
• knife
• sandpaper
• bird seed

Instructions:

1. First drill two holes in the bottom of the yogurt container so you can run the string through.
2. Sand and then spray paint the yogurt container and the cottage cheese container lid. This might need two coats. Let it dry.
3. With your knife cut an X in the middle of the cottage cheese container lid.
4. Take the string and run it down through the yogurt cup and pull out both ends through the bottom of the cottage cheese lid. Don't tie it yet.
5. Hot glue the yogurt cup to the lid first then you can tie a knot in the string.
6. All that's left to do is painting your sombrero. If you're letting small kids decorate it, maybe stickers would be less messy, but that's all part of the fun!
