ShareThe birds have returned to my neighborhood in full force. Even though they drive my dog (and my roommate) crazy, they’re a cheerful reminder that spring is finally almost here. To keep them around, I’m trying out this easy project by Susan Gibbs: fill an empty bird feeder with leftover pieces of yarn and your feathered friends will use the colorful scraps to build their nests.

Stop it! This is so fun!
Great idea.
Love this. I'm doing it.
This is too cute, sending to my bird-loving mom!
She will love it.
Such a clever idea; I love this.
You can also use the fuzz that comes out of your dryer vent.
I did this with scraps of yarn from projects I'm knitting. Huge wind and rain storm–pieces of yarn all over my yard!!! LOL
I also have a lot of cat hair from my Maine Coon that I've been saving. I'll have to get something similar to put it in. Thanks for the idea!
Thank you! My hubs thought I was crazy when I groomed our Bichon and saved the hair. I am not crazy alone…..
My grandson is going to love doing this! I can't wait to start.
You can also put dryer lint in with the yarn pieces. The birds will use both for their nests.
