Mason Jar Bird Feeders ~
The perfect storm! A box full of old pot lids a bunch of mason jars & a buy one get one free sale on poultry bases at the local farm storeā¦I may have got just a little carried away making bird feeders :)
Gathered my supplies...
Screwed the jars on to the poultry feeder bases ~ the red are plastic the metal are galvanized I did end up painting a few of these no real reason I just wanted to mix things up :)
I attached the lids using E6000 glue while this works great it smells awful! Make sure to only use in a well ventilated area!
Drilled holes in the bases to aid with drainage ~
Filled and ready for visitors! The small one has a water base attached Iām hoping the little birds will drink from itā¦
Cheap metal shower curtain hook/rings are awesome for hanging the feeders (work great for hanging plants & solar lights as well) I bought a package of a dozen at the dollar store for you guessed it $1!
Like I said I got a little carried away making theseā¦

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
How do you fill them with seeds?
I did this but the shower loops don't stay in the middle of the lid handle on top and then the feeder hangs off center. How can I keep it from doing this?
Have you tried adding a tray on the bottom to hold fallen seed and to give the birds something to land on while their eating? If yes, what would you use, maybe a plastic plant tray or maybe a wire wreath from dollar tree?
