Bird-lovers will find this idea of recycling mason jars very interesting. I made mine inspired by a post in Home Grown and ever since I have been happy to note a steep rise in the number of winged visitors to my garden. I am glad to provide a tutorial here on how I did it.

How to Make a Mason Jar Bird Feeder

Supplies

• Quart size mason jar
• 3 to 4 feet heavy-gauge wire
• Wire cutters
• Galvanized chicken feeder
• Birdseed

Instructions

1. Remove the ring and lid of the mason jar. Set them aside as you will not need them.

2. Fill up the jar with birdseed.

3. With the jar sitting upright, screw the galvanized chicken feeder onto its rim.

4. Flip the arrangement over and thread the wire through a couple of oppositely placed holes in the chicken feeder.
5. Wrap the wire up in gladiator sandal style. Twist the ends around one another a few times to secure tightly.
6. Cut off excess, if any. Bend the ends to resemble hooks.
