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 store…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 I’m hoping the little birds will drink from it…
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 these…

I have been checking the thrifts and estate sales for 2 years, still haven't found the right kind of lid to make one of these.

Have a question about this project?
This is also cute, without the lid glued to the top, to keep M & M’s in for the kiddos.
How can you make your own bird bath ?
I absolutely 💗 this idea! You are so great to share your idea. Thank you so very much!! I will be trying this.
My question is where did you get the large pot lids?
