A vintage teacup can receive new life as a DIY bird feeder, like this one created by Erin. Not willing to sacrifice a treasured cup? Use a thrifted plate and bowl instead. To customize the craft, consider adding chimes via antique silverware and beads, or even write a special message in plate paint.
