How to make your own Diy teacup bird feeders

Dit teacup bird feeders look really cute in the garden and they are a great way to reuse and recycle old china. When people are throwing tea sets out I just cannot say no and I have to rescue them. This leaves me with a large amount of mismatched and odd china and nowhere to store it. I am always looking for ways that I can re-use china teacups and a really popular DIY online is the teacup bird feeder. I already feed the wild birds but I wanted to make a pretty display for my garden. I used an old palette that I had in the garden and I made a cute teacup bird feeding station. In this video, I will show you how I made my teacup feeders and assembled my feeding station.

Pick u up some E-6000 glue, it's clear and stronger for ceramics. Adorable idea, I love getting these ideas off Pinterest.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks for the tip with the glue! X x x

[@chattykathie7129]

Yes it’s a great glue for jewelry to

[@NoelSpell]

Bear in mind that E-6000 is highly toxic so maybe not for things that are eaten off or worn. Sister in law has an art car. They use silicone exclusively to attach items. Tragically someone they know used E-6000 for his entire car and died from cancer from the repeated exposure.

[@FromRVtoCrafts]

@@NoelSpell wow, crazy.

[@crystalsdance]

I just saw this video. I immediately made five feeders out of gold filigree and rose China that was my great grandmothers! They were chipped, cracked, and discolored pieces. I am glad it was no drill. So, the gorilla glue will cure overnight, and I will put them out tomorrow! Thank you for your delightful diaries!

[@DaintyDiaries]

AW I am delighted to hear you made some. x

[@jaynemaggie]

Hi Catherine that's one way of using old China. Brilliant idea.

[@addie2532]

Catherine what a genious diy. Just the cutest way to display tea cups. Those birdies are going to be spoiled rotten. You have the perfect wildlife sanctuary. 🐦🌻🐱🐾😊

That is absolutely darling! I love your channel so much.

[@maxinemartin3189]

Hi Catherine, a beautiful video and a wonderful idea, I have bird tables along the top of my high fence and lower ones and I enjoy feeding the birds, but what a wonderful idea using cups and sauces, they look so pretty, I am going to do similar so thank you for your inspirational video, xx

[@donna8212]

Hey Catherine!!! Such a cute idea!! Love the teacups and the color you chose for the pallet. So adorable!! Have a nice night!! 😊

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks so much for watching Donna ❤️

[@maggipetty7047]

I love your stuff and your ideas! So original and cottage feminine. I've been drying and spray painting hydrangea blooms. They look beautiful and showy in bouqets, arrangements and wreaths. Summer is almost over in Kansas, so I'll need to find fall flowers I can dry, but a bounty of pinecones, nuts and willow twigs! Love your trash to treasure videos, and have been binge watching them on this cool Sunday afternoon.

[@Joyce-zl5lb]

Thank you for this! So adorable!! I will make some to keep and give away too bc i have way too many inherited china saucers- they are too small to use for food, so i love this idea!! My kitties love watching birds from the windows too😊🐈🐈‍⬛🩵🫖☕️🐦‍⬛

[@momof2momof2]

So charming !! I made one several years ago (a tea cup on a saucer) tied ribbon on the handle, then packaged it in a box with tissue paper, and a small bag of birdseed I found at the dollar store. My Mom loved it ! :)

[@emilyallen8436]

So lovely!!!!!!

[@dinahsoar6982]

The painted pallet on the block wall is perfect. I do love it; the display of tea cup bird feeders is wonderful: a feast for the eyes. After seeing you make these and realizing how easy it is, I'm tempted to give it a try. A single tea cup feeder and some bird seed would make a sweet gift.

[@linzertube]

I found you through Louise. I subbed right away, as your lovely channel is right up my alley. 😃👍

[@sarahdegomez2398]

Luckiest birds around the globe.. you can only find it in Catherine's garden... love it xx

[@misssherken66]

Great Idea Catherine. That palette is a nice size. I would be wary though about the breeze/wind knocking the cups against the wood and breaking them 😯

[@nievesbohorquezfashionshop37]

Ohhh que monada !!! me encanta esta idea, gracias guapa por compartir 😘👏💞💞

Luvd this its gorgeous aren't you just fantastic with ur ideas.

[@carriekarg8433]

Hi Catheryn ! Love your bird feeders that you made with some old teacups really really cute ! I would.do.that same thing but I would have too many problems with the squrrils and such ! I have to squrrils proof the feeders I have hanging now ! Have great day ! Hugs

[@DaintyDiaries]

I never thought of squirrels, we don't have many of them here, Thanks for watching x

[@debrafox5576]

Lovely!

[@karenurban9700]

As always , you never disappoint! Love this bird feeder diy! Will certainly make!❤️❤️❤️

[@Natasha-oz6ik]

So so cute

[@asoto7122]

Another clever idea!

[@ritamcloughlin7332]

Wow brilliant idea, I love it, I'll have to hit the charity shop for some China tea cups now, thanks so much for sharing... rita, county Kildare

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks Rita, So glad you enjoyed it! x

[@mandyjolil6069]

I'm moving into a house with a garden I'm going to try doing this thank you so pretty x

[@DaintyDiaries]

Have fun making this Mandy x

[@kidzngrandkidz840]

Love feeding the birds in my garden, the only downside is the seagulls, and my naughty cat, however, I love watching the small garden birds visiting, you can see how alert and cautious they are, and in winter they are much safer because the cat loves to be indoors keeping warm, and making her funny noises because she can see them but can't be bothered to leave her warm spot, love the teapot feeder,,

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting ❤️😘

[@loriquinn2850]

I have a suggestion that is both funny and fantastic. If you plant perennials (or annuals) directly under your bird feeder wall you will find that they will thrive because there is a steady supply of "fertilizer." I have benefited from this in my own garden.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Oh fab! Good tip! x

[@susan5301]

Absolutely brilliant and beautiful!!! The problem in my garden would be the squirrels, they would eat it all!! lol!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful ideas!!!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw wow, we don't have many squirrels;s here, Thanks for watching x

[@maureenp7082]

I love this idea. However, here in New England, U.S.A. we have black bears who love bird seed, so we can only feed the birds during the winter when the bears are hibernating!! I would so love this on the side of my garage! Thanks for the idea!!

[@caroltomlin8822]

Love this ♥️

[@lydiaknight70]

One of the best ideas I have seen for re-using tea cups! Unfortunately I had to stop putting out birdseed because the birds kept pecking (hard) on my windows & glass door. But maybe I will try it again. Or maybe just put water in the tea cups.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks so much for watching! ❤️😘 Lydia

Hi dandy lately I just started to watch your videos they're so nice I have watched a lot of them the I decide to subscribe you do a nice job 😍😙

So freaking cute!

[@mrs.mcnamara1669]

Adorable. It would be cute with a few succulents or herbs in them too.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Yes, a herb garden would be gorgeous x

[@sophiamorrell6029]

Dainty Dainty, oh queen of cute DIY...I want to make a fence out of pallets, and secure it to our masonry garden wall. My partner says our rechargeable battery pack drill probably wont work (even though I am sure it has a masonry bit). Anyway, what drill do you use/would recommend for this please? Xx

[@Yvonneb_]

Thats a really great idea. I cant do it though I have 3 dogs the staffi and shih tzu dont care about birds but the Lhasa Apso is terrible ( she is more like a cat to be honest) when she was little I think we had, had her about a month and she literally walked into the kitchen at mealtime with a dead rat, I screamed and ran lol, my son put it in the bin, the dog wasnt happy and sulked for two days, she wouldnt eat or anything. My son said she could have bought it as a gift and thought we would be pleased. We later found out the man next door had took a shed down and he saw rats under it but he didnt know how one got into our garden. xx

[@deepestanio4625]

Gonna try now

[@kingtony1813]

pretty

[@sandradebil2432]

I live in an apartment and I don't have anywhere to put this, but it's an amazing idea for people who live in a house. And I love your style! 💕 Btw, can you do more soap videos in the future? Maybe summer/autumn soaps and some advice on fragrance combos. 😊

[@DaintyDiaries]

Yes! I’m on the hunt for some new shaped moulds and il experiment with scents x

[@marymorrow590]

What cute idea cant wait till I have my own home and I can make one of these. If I hung one of these at my brothers house the squirrels would destroy them......I also use the Gorilla glue for my DIY projects....Thanks for sharing

[@frenchcountrylove7435]

Am back from vacation, love the diy. How you are doing, hope you doing good.

I hope you had a lovely Vacation Mercy! Thanks for watching! x x x x

[@pennycripps1150]

Love this...sorry if you’ve already said but how did you make a hole in the little teapot? 💗

tq for your idea

[@tracycook5445]

I’d call this an all day tea party

[@bloodlacerose1688]

So pretty. One question..... how did you drill the hole in the teapot? Thank-you for sharing. Have a lovely day!! AMB...Rose

[@wheresdollybeen6836]

i would use garden wire to hang them i have o many squirrels in my garden and they chew through string, and washing lines, and everything else xx

[@marywest2896]

what a lovely idea!!!! can you tell me what the large white metal container that was on your kitchen counter was? I thought it might be a bread bin. I love it---where did you get it?

[@DaintyDiaries]

Hiya, I got that bread bin in Next x Thanks so much for watching!

[@marywest2896]

oh-uh-what is Next x?

[@31sahana]

you could put sugar water in the top cups. i really love this idea.

[@vallisiviero9389]

Ciao Dainty beautiful 👍👍👍💞💞💞💞👋👋👋💋

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks for watching x

[@jacquelinepokoo8659]

how did you get the hole in the tea pot

[@cherylmatthews4066]

Little blob of hot glue (helps to hold piece in place while glue sets over night) AND e6000 glue is alot better than gorilla glue, the one you got foams up but you can now get Clear non foam Gorilla Glue. Xxx

[@elianadias2436]

Catherine! !!...is beautiful is idéia. ..mas acho um desperdício usar lindas louças...para ser usado como comedouro de birds

[@evelynmcculloch9899]

That's a great idea, wouldn't it be lovely if you got a wee nest in the bigger pot 🐦🐦 xx

Aw yea cute! Thanks so much for watching Evelyn x

[@theprimitiveblackhatsociet8274]

I love the way this turned out!! The cat that lives down the street comes and sits under our birdfeeders. But she is so fat, I don't think she can get any of the birds. ;-)
