10 Super Simple DIY Bird Feeders For Spring!

10 Super Simple DY Bird Feeders For Spring Time!

It’s almost Summer, officially… and I always get very excited when the sun comes out! I can’t wait to hear the birds singing and I would really love to make some bird feeders but I have cats.

All my family have cats so I can’t make a bird feeder to hang anywhere! I don’t want to lure the poor critters to their death!

I hope you will pick up the torch on my behalf and make some pretty bird feeders or even butterfly feeders (that’s the bonus by the way :p).

Recycled Tin Can Bird Feeder

How fabulously simple is this bird feeder?! All you need is a tin can, some string like this stuff, yarn or pretty bakers twine like this* for stringing up, a little paint and some of this duct tape in a million different colors!*

I really want to get my hands on some of this colorful duct tape. I’ve no idea what I would use it for but I still want some. I’m sure I could find something to do with it!

You can see this great tutorial over at momtastic.

Vintage Tea Cups & Candle Sticks

These teacup bird feeders attached to old glassware is tres impressive!

I think I would be too afraid to use vintage glassware in case it was something valuable.

Amanda from Kaleidoscope of Color did an excellent job.

Popsicle Sticks Galore!

If you have a lot of these lolly sticks (popsicle sticks)*, you could make a bird feeder just like this Lil guy!

Use Your Apples

The tutorial for this DIY is in German, but it’s easy to translate with Google Translate!

The blog is Happy Serendipity, and you can access Google translate here.

All you need to have is an apple, bird seed, a cookie cutter like this*, a screw or hook and some lovely bakers twine* to hang from a tree.

Twigs & Paint

Another tutorial that will need to be translated but this looks simple enough, and it’s made using twigs, a hot glue gun like this one, and some of this craft paint!

By the very talented Johanna Rundel!

We’re all about the recycling here!

Chicken Wire Cone

This bird feeder is so simple if you have a little chicken wire like this stuff here!

In fact, virtually all of these tutorials are insanely simple.

The birds/Squirels in your area are guna be phaaaat.

Cereal!

If you have cheerios in your house, then this bird feeder is crazy simple!

Although, I’m not sure how good Cheerios are for birds and their digestive system.

I’m not an expert so don’t listen to me.

Cups and Saucers

Another version of the teacup bird feeder is to turn into a hanging bird feeder!

You just need a cup and saucer, some string and some serious epoxy glue*.

This project is from the book – Creating The Vintage Look.

Upcycled Milk Carton Craft

Are you ready to recycle all the cartons from your house?

Grab some of these colorful paints, sponge daubers, dowel rods and a craft knife!

I love this little paint job, and it’s designed perfectly to allow for more than one bird to feed at once.

Upcycled Egg Carton Feeder

If you eat eggs, then you’re bound to have easy access to a few egg cartons. For this simple DIY bird feeder.

Feed the biiiiirds tuppence a bird! Sing it with me!
