12 DIY Wine Bottle Bird Feeder Ideas

I'm one of those people who wears binoculars, the funny hat you see in parks and watches birds. Yep, I'm a birder. So naturally, I like to feed the birds in the yard, and hopefully get some interesting, out of the ordinary species from time to time, but notice I said species, not genus. Yes squirrel, I'm talking to you! I love all animals alike, but I'm not loving you hogging the feeder all the time. One day I might give you your own, but for now, hands off.

I absolutely love outdoor decorations that use wine bottles! Especially blue bottles, but those can be harder to come by. I have colored bottles before using Modge Podge and food coloring for a transparent bottle, or with spray paint for an opaque one, but I wanted something different this time.

These are so much fun to make. Once you get comfortable using your jigsaw and your heat gun, they are so easy too! Who knew you could make these fantastic birds, animals and so much more out of a PVC pipe?!

Growing succulents in wine glasses is easy. Gather some wine glasses, fill them with a commercial cactus or any loamy soil mix, and plant some assorted succulents. Further, decorate them with pebbles. You can use them as centerpieces and introduce them to coffee tables and office desks.

Display this birdcage planter to add a creative influence to your garden. You can hang it indoors or outdoors on a tree or near a door. The choice is yours. Check out the tutorial here.

Find an old chandelier in your nearby thrift store. Make sure that the design of the chandelier is such that it can hold feeding cups.

Begin by cutting the plastic bottle in the middle. To cut a plastic bottle in half, you will need a sharp object such as a pair of scissors or a utility knife.

Water fountains are fun and relaxing, and can add a lot of visual appeal to your yard.

Hummingbirds are so pretty and fun to watch. This is a wonderful way to reuse and upcycle empty wine bottles. The hummingbird feeders look beautiful and attract hummingbirds to your yard.

Squirrels love bird seed and if they get into your bird feeder they will empty it in a day! It becomes too expensive! The gears started turning and got me thinking about how I could build a diy bird feeder that only birds could enter but still be a nice addition to look at in the garden.

One problem I have is seeing a potential project in just about anything and everything--I'm a self proclaimed crafting hoarder and I'm trying to be better about what I keep so as not to drive Rob completely bonkers. Something that I have a ton of that I know can be used in so many ways is a bin of wine bottles. Whether we've popped open a bottle for dinner with friends or my many friends keeping theirs for me, I've collected them over the years and have actually gotten rid of a lot of them when trying to purge the basement. However, I still have several and thought I'd finally do something with them.

Though there are various ways you can use empty bottles of wine, in this post, check out some really interesting Wine Bottle Water Feature Ideas that you’ll surely love to make.
