Clay Pot Bird Feeder

Clay pots are versatile and can be used in so many unique ways. Here's how to use them to create a personalized bird feeder.

Supplies Needed

Clay pot and tray / super glue / exterior paint and/or other materials for decorating.

Step 1: Paint

Turn the clay pot upside down and have fun personalizing it with paint. This is a great way to get kids involved!

Step 2: Add Glue

Turn the clay pot upside down and add glue to the rim.

Step 3: Attach the Tray

Place tray on top of clay pot, pressing down to secure.

Step 4: Protect and Seal Your Bird Feeder

Once the painted pot and tray have completely dried, spray with polyurethane to weatherize them.

Your Bird Feeder is Ready

Fill the tray with birdseed and enjoy watching the birds flock to these feeders.
