Love looking out the window into your backyard? Perhaps you have a lovely view that includes lots of cool DIY patio and backyard decor? Perhaps you have nothing but are looking for just that, some creative ideas for DIY projects that add some interest to that view? Either way, we think you should add a DIY bird feeder to your list of must-have decor ideas for the yard, porch or patio. Not only do these look incredible, they are inexpensive, most are easy to make, and they will attract some feathered friends for you to start watching. Once I added a bird feeder to my yard, I could not believe I went so long without one. This is like having an aquarium but much, much better. I never know which birds are going to show up for dinner (or breakfast or lunch!) but I have come to know quite a few of them, and they now have names. From upcycled bottles and mason jars, clay pots to candy jars, tin cans to teacups, we have projects made from all sorts of genius items. Check out the gorgeous step by step tutorials for each of these 35 cool DIY bird feeders, compliments of some of the top DIY bloggers around. No need to scour Pinterest looking for these bird feeders, we put together a list of the best of the best. Happy building, your new feathered friends can’t wait to meet you!

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
