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?

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!

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  14. 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.

  19. 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

  20. 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

  3. […] 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. Via – Mommymoment […]
