Faux Mercury Glass Bird Feeders
by

Using Looking Glass paint, salvaged glass jars, bottles and plates I made up some ornamental bird feeders to get our outdoor season off to a start.
I can't seem to throw out those glass jars whether it's spaghetti sauce or pickles, not to mention the lids. So I took a trip to the Goodwill to find mix-matched glass plates to be used as bird feeder tops and bottoms.
I painted the INSIDES of the jars and bottles, and then the underside of the larger plates (for the bird feeder bottom) and the top side of the smaller plates (for the bird feeder rooftops).
I painted up a bunch of jar lids and salvaged furniture hardware.
Enjoyed the project?
