I really loved the Pine Cone Birdfeeders that Denine made with her kids and thought I should do what I could to feed some birds this winter. When I saw this bird feeder project in Family Fun Magazine I thought it would be a great project to make with my kids. They had so much fun painting their milk cartons and then picking out a tree to hang them in.
