DIY Bird Feeders with Recycled Materials

Outdoor· Summer

E6000 vintage punch glasses onto a hanging tea light candle holder. Once the glue has dried, fill the glasses with bird seed and water, and hang outside.

I like creating bird feeders out of recycled materials.  I place them around the yard to remind me of my grandparents and to keep them out of my garden and fruit trees while they’re growing.

For this bird feeder, I glued some ribbon around a recycled can, and I made a loop to hang the bird feeder from. I added some star stickers but you could paint or decorate the can however you want.

I hot glued a small stick onto the edge of a can for a bird perch. Once that cooled, I added some bird seed to the can.

    As always Chas I love how simple your ideas are. Your mind must always be thinking, amazing creativity. I love the bird feeders that include water as well, birds often need a water source as well.

      You are so very sweet, thank you so much Leanna. I’m loving your dog toys. I’m thinking I need to make some of those as gifts this holiday season for my family that has dogs.

    The birds eat in style at your place! I love the pretty little tea cup feeder. So whimsical! At our place we feed the hummingbirds. Such a source of entertainment! They yell at my husband when the feeders get empty. Bossy things!

    Thanks for linking up with Creative Compulsions!

    These are all great ideas! I like the vintage clear glass plate and cup. We had the plates growing up. I saw a set for sale somewhere recently and the cup was printed for a beer cup. Strange, as I hadn’t thought it was that style….

      Thank you so much Liberty, that is one of my favorites too. I have picked up a few collections of those from thrift stores. We use them for so many different things in our home.
