You could if you wanted just get some bird feed and then place it on a tray or plastic plate in your garden not only will it attract the birds but you may also find it attracts other types of wildlife also such as squirrels. However if you want to produce an inexpensive homemade bird feeder that will discourage the squirrels then you could get a pine cone and cover it in peanut butter roll it in bird food and then hang it from a tree branch with a piece of string.

Certainly take a look around your garden and even if you have got a tree on which you can hang the feeder you may find that the eaves of your house will work just as well or you could also hang one for a hanging basket hook instead.
