a salad bowl to an Up-Cycled Bird Feeder

May 25, 2016February 27, 2023 Natalie 39 comments
a salad bowl to an Up-Cycled Bird Feeder

I like to think of myself as a pretty crafty person, so I made this up-cycled bird feeder from a plastic container from Chick-fil-A. The Chick-fil-A Mom Panel moms were given the up-cycled challenge of turning their spicy southwest salad bowl into anything else.

These were a lot of fun to put together, we have a lot of birds in our yard. We currently have a few nests in the trees and around the playground. When the kids come to visit, they really love watching the birds. So what better to have than a bird feeder. This is something we want to do with the rest of the trees around the yard.

When I received my coupon in the mail from them, I was excited to cash it in for a yummy treat. While the coupon was for the Spicy Southwest Salad, you are able to switch it out for one of the other salads. I just don’t like spicy stuff (I get crazy acid these days), so I got the Cobb Salad instead. None the less, it was still simply amazing.

What you need to make a “up-cycled bird feeder”

• Chick-fil-A salad bowl
• plastic bottle that has a cap
• paint color of your choice
• 2 metal coat hangers
• duct tape
• bird seed

Steps to making your own “up-cycled bird feeder”

Step 1: Cut a hole in the bottom of the bowl to fit the top of the bottle through it.

Step 2: Paint or spray paint the bottle and lid of salad bowl. Let sit & dry.

Step 3: Hook hanger ends into the lid where there’s holes and then tape the ends under the lid.

Step 4: Cut holes at the bottom of the bottle, so that the seeds could fall out of the bottle into the bottom of the salad bowl.

Step 5: Fill bottle with bird seeds and then screw it on to the bottom of the salad bowl.

Step 6: Hang in the tree and watch the birds get their grub on.

After creating this, I came up with another idea for the birds with using the Chick-fil-A’s salad bowl. Check out some of the other projects.

    I’ll have to start saving my Chic Fil A salad bowls to make a couple of these. We love watching the birds eating out of bird feeders and I try to reuse everything that I can.

    This is such a smart idea. I like how you’ve put these containers to use instead of just throwing them in the garbage.

    What a great idea! And recycled, too!! It’s great use (and reuse) of a plastic container that would end up on a landfill! I’m certain the birds love it!

    So cool! I would not have thought you can even upcycle stuff like these. I usually just throw them out. I will ask the hubby if he can make something like this. It would be nice to watch the birds happily feeding.

    Cute project! I have not made this yet but in my location, the weather is too hot like I say 117 temp!! I do not know if the birds would come to eat the upcycled bird feeder or not. I love to feed the birds but I disliked the pigeons. Anyway, thank you for sharing 🙂
