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.

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

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

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

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

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

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