Next, you need to make two more holes for the second spoon in the same way. After this, you must fill the bottle with food using a watering can or a paper envelope. In order to hang the feeder, you must first make a hole in the lid of the bottle, then pass the rope folded in half, tie the ends to the knot, then tighten the lid and the trough is ready.

Another option - on two or three sides of the bottle, you must first designate two vertical strips, then make incisions in the middle and cut through the marked lines. In this way, the flaps will be obtained, the upper flaps will perform the function of the roof, and the lower flaps should be reduced. The upper flaps must be attached to the bottle with threads, for this you need to make small holes and thread the thread. Through the lid, you must pass a rope or wire to hang the feeder. In order for birds to sit comfortably at the feeding trough, it is necessary to fix the branches on each side. To make the feeder bright, it can be painted with acrylic paints.
