Christmas Bird Feeder Gift with Bowdabra Bow

This Christmas give the gift of a bird feeder.  Suet feeders are great to put out for the birds during the colder months. 

The suet cakes give much needed nutrients and fat to the birds. Place a suet cake into the suet feeder and then adorn the front with a beautiful Bowdabra Bow.

Materials Needed:

• Bowdabra®
• Bowdabra® Bow Wire
• Faux Pine Needle Branches
• Floral Picks
• Suet Feeder
