Upcycled Project | Chandelier Bird Feeder

Diva of DIY
by Diva of DIY
The Diva of DIY, Leanne Lee, is an upcycler. She loves turning pieces that would be typically be found in the junk yard or garbage bin into beautiful, functional pieces. That's exactly what this Bird Feeder is!
When your imagination runs free you'll come up with ideas like this! Most people see this ugly, outdated brass chandelier as something that needs to be pitched. But, Leanne saw a beautiful bird feeder and created it!
So this is the "junk" that The Diva of DIY had to work with! While at one time this was a welcomed site, today it's pretty ugly, right?!?! Leanne can't let ugly hang around long so she had to get going on this piece that she BOUGHT at a garage sale for $1.00.


Yes, she PAID for that ugliness because she knew the greatness that could come out of upcycling this piece!
For this project a fun color needed to be used because the bird feeder was going to be hung out back. It adds a nice pop of color in the winter when the leaves have fallen.


The color I used was Seaside by Rust-Oluem. Isn't it pretty?
Believe it or not, the birds flock to this bird feeder (when there's no one there snapping pictures!). I love to sit in the morning and watch them peck at the bird food....who knew birds ate so much?!?

    I am wondering how you raise and lower it to refill the cups with seed...
