| I got into a habit of saving old glass pieces and needed to do something with them. I've always loved copper and we have orioles in the area, so I got the idea to make some hanging feeders that could be used for orioles or hummingbirds. The shot glasses can be filled with grape jelly or sugar water and the plate can hold jelly or sliced oranges and other fruits. |  |

With some of the larger glass pieces I've been collecting, I created these sitting glass bird feeders. Simply, fill the top with seed, place the base on top, and then flip the whole thing right side up. I display these feeders in a covered outdoor area, so they aren't affected by the rain. You could also drill holes in the base to allow water to drain. The great thing about glass is that they are easy to clean. The downside, they will break if dropped or knocked around, so use them on a sturdy surface. |
| Gary and I bought this rustic drift wood bird feeder at a yard sale and mounted it to a log. The log is attached to a large board and spikes are used to hold it in the soil. A few rocks are sitting on top of the board and covered with mulch for added stability. |  |
