Bird Feeder from Dishes

February 7, 2013 by Amanda Formaro

Bird Feeder from Dishes

I can’t help it, my brain is stuck is spring mode. It doesn’t matter that there’s snow on the ground, or that it snowed for the last 4 days here. I can’t get my mind off of spring. I have a beat up old bird feeder in the backyard that has definitely seen better days. I’m saving this beauty for inspiration, I just love it, and the colors are fantastic! You can get the full tutorial here —  Erin’s Creative Energy: DIY Bird Feeder.

    This is really a very creative idea! I can’t wait to try this at my camp this summer. I love sitting on my deck and watching the birds. I will have to pass this one on to my granddaughter too. Thank you so much.
