Hi! I am excited about this post. I have joined up with some other crafty bloggers and we have challenged each other to create a fall mason jar project. You all know I love to work with mason jars. Today I am showing you how to create a fall mason jar hanging bird feeder!

Fall Mason Jar Hanging Bird Feeder
This post contains affiliate links for your convenience. You can read my full disclosure here.
Materials Needed:
Mason Jar
Twine – 3 different fall colors
Scissors
Step 1:
Clean the mason jar and spray it with the Sea Glass spray paint! I gave it two coats with it upside down and then one more coat after I turn it right side up. I love this sea grass spray paint. It went on nicely and I got great results.
Step 2:
This is where we add the twine by creating a fish net look. For this step I have created a short video that you can see at the top of this post. This process just involves a series of knots. It wasn’t hard and did not take very long at all.
Step 3:
Add the chicken feeder and the bird food and hang up for the birds to enjoy! The mason jar just screws into the chicken feeder. I could not believe how easy it was the first time I saw one of these. It is so perfect.
I won’t be able to keep this at my house due to the number of kitties. I would feel like I was setting a trap for the poor birds. But, it will be great to give to someone who doesn’t have outdoor cats or no cats at all. I think the birds will love it. What do you think?

This is so beautiful and looks easy. I have a question though. You said a chicken feeder. I was wondering what that was. Can you get it at Tractor Supply and it screws in the lid? It looked like you might have to put a hole in the lid or something? I couldn't figure it out. Sorry, but I couldn't tell by the picture.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Cindy. I got mine at Bomgaar's which is like a tractor supply store. You use the jar without the lid and it just screws onto the feeder. It is really easy. I am so glad you like it.

I just love this one and would want it hanging in my tree too. The part about it being a trap for the birdies because you have cats gave me a giggle but so true.

Hi Sue, Thanks so much. I have found a friend who wants this in her yard. It is perfect because she has a nice 4 season room with tons of windows so she can watch them eat and they will be safe. I am glad you like it. I can see a teal one hanging in your tree!

What a fun project! I will have to make one of these for my Mom who loves to watch the birds congregate in her yard and take advantage of her feeders and bird houses!
