20 DIY Bird Feeder Projects to Bring Life in Your Garden

07. Popsicle Stick Feeders

 If you have kids that love DIY projects, why not create a popsicle stick birdfeeder? You can use sticks that you have on hand or buy some at a craft store. Just layer the sticks and be sure to add something to hold the birdseed in. Kids can paint these any color that they want and they will have a ball creating different feeders for all of your trees.

09. Plate and Bowl Bird feeder

 You can make a beautiful birdfeeder from a saucer and a matching bowl – or a mismatched one if you prefer. You just have to drill a hole in the saucer and attach the two together. Ok, so it is a bit more complicated than that but not too complicated. This beautiful birdfeeder looks great and the saucer protects your birds from rain, sun and other weather elements, sort of like an umbrella.

10. Plastic Bottle Bird Feeder

A plastic soda bottle and a couple of wooden spoons make a great birdfeeder. You just have to make holes in the bottle for the spoons and be sure that you angle the spoons downward so that the birdfeed will drizzle onto them. This is a really cute idea and a great project for the kids.

11. Tea Cup Birdfeeder

 A teacup and saucer can make a beautiful birdfeeder. If you have a spare set, you can create a very unique feeder by gluing the teacup to the saucer sideways. It makes it look as if the bird food has spilled out of the cup. This is an adorable feeder and with a ribbon or string, you can hang it anywhere that you want to see pretty little birds. Note that you do need glue that has really good holding power.

12. Window Bird feeder

If you love looking at birds in the winter but simply don’t want to go outside to do it, you can bring them right up to your window. You just need a few scraps of wood and a glass-safe hanger. Just create a little “house” for your birds and then attach to any window. You can then sit inside your warm and comfy house and watch the birds eat all day long.

13.Wine Bottle Bird feeders

 Old wine bottles can be turned into beautiful bird feeders. You just have to create a base and a small saucer works perfectly. Then just carefully drill holes in the sides of the bottles to allow the bird food to come through and hang. You can fill the bottles through the lid. You just have to add wire or rope to hang.
