You are going to love this DIY Tea Cup Bird Feeder!
The snow is melting and spring is just around the corner (yay!).
I don’t have much of a green thumb and things tend to die quickly in our yard.
There are a lot of great yard/garden décor ideas online that I want to make to jazz up our yard.
I thought what better way to welcome all of our feathered friends back than with this adorable Tea Cup Bird Feeder?

You only need a few things to make this DIY bird feeder and you are ready to rock and roll!
MATERIALS:
- Make sure your cup and saucer are clean and dry.
- Squeeze some of the glue onto the edge of your saucer.
- Tip your teacup onto its side and place on top of the glue. You will need to let it sit for about 24 hours before you hang it outside.
- Next, all you have to do is pour in your birdseed and hang up your feeder. My feeder still needs a bit of time to set, but I can’t wait to put it outside and watch the birds!

Oh my gosh I love this. It might be my obsession with tea cups talking though! I just made tea cup candles, check it out at createimagineanddream.blogspot.com/2013/02/tea-cup-candles.html
I wish I had a cup and saucer left over so I can make these…guess I am going to the thrift store again!!
Jody @ Mommy Moment says
There are so many great Tea Cup craft ideas out there…I think this would be great as a Mother’s Day gift from the kids to grandma 🙂

What a creative unique idea! Birdies. Will be eating in style. Lol
Cheryl Grandy says
I think this would be a pretty way to reuse a cup and saucer set with a crack or small chip in it – much better than throwing it away. Thanks for the idea.
Christy Martin says
Very cute idea! I have a bankers box full of single sets or mismatched cups and saucers, what a good idea to finally put them to use and keep them intact at the same time.
Kathy Bolton says
is the Elmer’ glue strong enough to hold the cup and saucer together outside in the rain?
I used E600 on a tea cup/saucer . It came unglued. thx for the response
this would make a great “scout” project .
Jennifer Hunt says
Hi Kathy. My bird feeder has been out in the elements since this project was posted and it has held together perfectly!
Autumn says
Love this idea as i am also a mommy of 3 rambunctious boys,this will give them good reason to sit still a few minutes!
Leah at Iced... Bake Shoppe says
Love this! Will be grabbing a few teacups the next time I am at a thrift store! Need this Calgary snow to go away long enough to get out and hang it. :0

I saw something similar in a magazine recently, but it was only a photo. It really is a quick, cute craft, & would make a nice housewarming gift with a bag of bird seed.
Candice H says
I was wondering if hot glue gun glue would be strong enough?
Babby Blair says
what kind of adhesive did you use. I used 2 part epoxy and it still fell apart. And yes it was super clean.

This is such a great idea and it gives me something to do with my old tea cups and saucers
Laura Nickles says
My daughter made me one of these for last Mother’s Day with a teacup and saucer my grandmother had. It looks beautiful outside my window and the birds love it too
Rhonda says
I tried this with glue that said it would adhear the glass together and it separated and fell and shattered so I was wondering if there is any suggestions I’ve heard silicone but I don’t know if that’s good for the birds. I also used a spoon and bent it around the handle of the cup drilled a hole in the spoon to put a hook or ribbon through
