Hey there everyone!
Tweet tweet!
Those are the sweet, sweet sounds I have been hearing every morning outside our bedroom window.
I think they are hungry, it’s been a long winter.
So I decided, I would show you how to make your own bird feeder like I just did, so you too can make your birds happy!
This was a cute surprise. I didn’t realize the bottom of the can said Seasoned Southern style.
How fitting for a bird and for living in the South!
Let’s start with the basics
Can
Mod podge
Popsicle stick
and fabric swatches.
Twine rope to hang
I have a bunch of the fabric swatches left over from the Baby shower banner I made last year.
I found a pack of them at Walmart for just a few bucks.
I like to mod podge in sections as you can see. Paint the mod podge on the can
adhere the swatch, it just so happend to be the perfect size, with just a tad of trimming to be done on the bottom.
Paint over the fabric
let dry
Stencil if you so happen to choose
These individual stencils are so user friendly, just peel, stick and paint with craft paint of choice.
I then lightly sprayed the can with polyurethane seeing it will be outside.
glue the popsicle stick
Fill with birdseed and you have a one of a kind
bird feeder.
Super cute and makes for a happy bird.
Thanks for stopping by today.
I love can crafts and you can check out my gallery of recycled cans and bottles. I have done quite a few!
Hope you follow me around!
What a cute idea that you could use with just about anything! Hugs
Cute Debbie, and I love how you have already attracted a graphic bird. You are so funny!
That is so cute and I love the bottom. Thought you had chosen that one on purpose.
Love this! Wish we had a few birds around here…none yet!
Very Cute Debbie. I love that you recycled the can into something new. Great idea and the birdies will love this.

That’s so cute, Debbie–I love that it’s easy too! 🙂
I love feeding the birds! This is a cute way to serve up yummy birdseed for our feathered friends.

I try not to lure birds into my yard… lol, (cats)
This is so cute though. Love the paper pattern!! I bet the little birdies will love it!!
So cute Debbie.and I love feeding the birds..this gives me a new idea.Thanks
Too cute for words – love the popsicle stick holder !
I’m really embarrassed to admit this but I’ve never mod podged a thing in my life –
Keep meaning to – and end up painting a dresser instead – HAVE to start sometime!
XOXO
What a really good idea. My little man will enjoy making one of these.
I love that you are recycling and feeding the birdies!! I’ve been hearing more birds lately too..I hope that means spring will be here soon.
Debbie, this is so cute. Where did you get the little stencils. They are so neat. Thanks for constant inspiration. xoxoGinger
what a cute idea 🙂
Debbie,
I just Love this !! You made it very easy for someone on a budget
to make a really cute bird feeder. And if they don’t have swatches
they can take one of their husband’s shirts and use that just cut into
appropriate size and wala I Love it !!!
Thank You
Lisa.
What a fun project! The birdies will love it!!~~Angela
Yeah, I was totally surprised with how these bird feeders look. I am amazed how these were made. I hope to make my own version of bird feeder too. Thanks for sharing!
