HOW TO CREATE A DIY BIRD FEEDER WITH OLD TEA CUPS

Winter is coming and our little birds friends need some help to overcome freezing months. We can help them with some food, if you have a garden or a small balcony, you can create a DIY feeder for seeds, pieces of fruits and crumbs using old tea cups. Don’t forget a small recipient also for water too!

 

SUPPLIES

 

  • Old tea cups
  • Porcelain glue or mounting tape
  • Twine
  • Scissors
  • Old fork
  • Pliers

 

 

Put some porcelain glue on the side of the plate and press over gently the cup. If you’ll keep the cup on the side little birds will have more space where standing. Let it dry.
If you need secure the cup to the plate with some paper tape while it dries.

 

 

You can also use acrylic mounting tape instead of glue. It will be even much more quick and easy.

 

 

When the glue will be dried and the cup firmly glued to the plate, use the twine to hag it to a branch.

You can also create an original DIY hook using an old fork. Bend the fork with the pliers, it will be another nice upcycling idea!

 

 

Hang the feeders on a tree, just be careful to choose a quite place to let the bird eat undisturbed.
