How to Make a Butterfly Feeder
Keep these pretty pollinators active in your garden with this simple DIY butterfly feeder.
Cost
$35
Equipment
1 Pair of scissors
Supplies
1
plate
1
wall mount plate holder
optional - will need if plate is round
mason line
or twine
Washer (or another metal ring)
beads
Instructions
Cut 4 pieces of mason line into 3 foot sections.
Loop the pieces through the metal ring and tie with a double knot.
Add beads to the line about 12" from the top, lined up evenly. Tie a knot under each bead to keep in place.
Tie all the strings together about 6" underneath the beads, then cut the excess line about 1/2" away from the knot.
Do the same to the knot that's holding the metal ring too to prevent fraying.
Add your plate and hang it in a sunny place in the garden, topped with butterfly food.
