This harvest wreath is intended as a feast for our feathered friends and cost next to nothing to make. The base is made from a wire coat hanger made into a ring; keep the hook to hang it with. This is covered with straw which had literally fallen off the back of a lorry. The wire and string used in construction had been used before. The other ingredients were either home grown or picked from the hedgerow. The base is bound with Hops, you could use Ivy etc. it’s just to cover the straw but anything the birds can eat is a bonus. Then all the other ingredients were added. Only hang where you would tolerate a bird feeder as some seeds will no doubt drop to the ground and be missed by hungry birds. |
