Spring is coming to Northern Michigan. The snow is melting and the birds are singing. I LOVE to watch the birds eat and I have bird feeders strategically placed so that I can watch them as they eat. I am looking for some more Upcycled DIY Birdfeeders so I went on a search for some unique ones.
I also want to mention that with spring comes garage sales. Garage sales and thrift stores are a great place to look for some of the items used to make these birdfeeders so keep your eyes open as you are out and about.
Here are my finds:
Do you have any old outdoor light fixtures? They make a great birdfeeder. Finding Secret Treasure shares how to make one.
This colorful DIY bird feeder is made from a bowl and saucer. You can buy new or find one at a garage sale or Goodwill, etc.
I love this mason jar bird feeder made by the Garden Roof Coop. This would look pretty with a colored mason jar.
These old pots and pans make some really cute bird feeders by Cottage Market. Don’t like the old look give them a coat of spray paint.
Look at these fun Wine Bottle Bird Feeders by the Garden Roof Coop. You wouldn’t have to use a wine bottle but could use any glass bottle.
This DIY Candy Jar Bird Feeder is made from a glass candy jar and a vase.
Check out these recycled glass bird feeders that Holly- Life by Design found at a flea market. There isn’t a step by step tutorial but I might try my hand at one of these.
Here is the one I made from the above inspiration. Mason Jar Bird Feeder
Look at this birdfeeder made from a glass light shade by The Art of Doing Stuff. I can see some cool bird feeders coming my way.
What can you do with an ugly lamp and a chip dip tray? Why make a bird feeder! Check out this Lamp Birdfeeder by Second Chance to Dream.
I’ve seen lots of teacup bird feeders on stakes but I haven’t seen hanging ones and I love this hanging teacup bird feeder by Bushel & A Peck
Did you pick out a favorite one? I hope your creativity was stirred.

What a lovely round up of ideas – the first one made me laugh – we've got a pair of finches that takes over the porch light every year as a place for their nest (and then get all upset when we come and go through the door). I'd love if you'd share this over at Awesome Life Friday! 🙂
Thank you so much Lynda for stopping by. That is so funny about your light fitxture/nest issue. How cool to be able watch the whole process. Thanks for the invite to link up. I just hopped over there and did it. Have a great rest of the weekend. Barb
These are some awesome ideas! I love the outdoor light birdfeeder that was cool, and my hubby just through a couple away a few months back )-:
The pot and lid feeder really neat too! Thanks for sharing! Pinning to my birdhouse and feeder board!
Thanks Linda for stoping by! Bummer on the outdoor light fixture being tossed. Thanks for pinning!
Thank you Wendy. I also love finding creative ways/things to make bird feeders out of. Thanks for stopping by and sharing some love with me.
Looks very nice! These 10 DIY bird feeders are nicely designed and I’m glad to find some inspiration from here. Actually now I’m looking forward to adapt some ideas from these DIY bird houses feeders to make one for my bird nest.
Awesome! Thanks so much for stopping by.
I think that these are some really cute ideas for unique bird feeders! While I think store-bought feeders work just fine, these add some pizzazz and charm that plastic feeders can’t. I especially love the circular glass feeder; I’d love to make or buy something like that for my yard. Thanks for the ideas!
Thanks Hazel! You are right store bought feeders work fine and I just bought a couple more bright colored ones to add to my gardens. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a GREAT day!!!
