Day 12: Sacred Traditions Advent Calendar

Create a bird feeder.

Hello friends,

Today, let’s honor nature and invite joy into our space by crafting a simple bird feeder. As the days grow colder, offering a little nourishment to our feathered friends becomes a beautiful act of care and connection.

This tradition is more than just a craft; it’s a moment to pause, create with your hands, and feel the gratitude that comes from giving back to the natural world. Watch as the birds gather—messengers of joy, curiosity, and freedom.

I’d like to thank @northwoodsfolk for her tutorial guiding us to create an orange peel bird feeder. Follow along with the tutorial here. Gather your materials, pour yourself a warm drink, and enjoy this soothing activity.
