The dog days of summer are here! Try this quick and easy craft to attract some wildlife to your yard for the remaining summer months. Gather up these materials and follow these steps to make a bird feeder out of an orange:

Materials:
{} orange
{} (2) pieces of twine, yarn or string, cut into 24″ lengths
{} bird seed

1. Cut the orange in half.
2. Scoop out the flesh.
3. Poke four holes around the orange on opposite sides.
4. Put the two pieces of twine through one hole each and pull out the holes on opposite sides. If done correctly, the twine should make an “X.”
