And doing it this way saves some money and looks just as cute in my opinion! What do you guys think?! Let me know below! 👇🏻

DIY Bird Feeder Upgrade

This weekend we decided to give our little bird feeder a much needed upgrade. I got a nice little bird feeder and stand from my mother in law for my birthday a few weeks ago. And while the stand was fine on it’s own, we thought it would be fun to make something a little more custom and elevated for it. Plus, the wind around our house can get really bad sometimes and those stands don’t usually hold up too well. Hence, the DIY bird feeder upgrade project was born!

DIY Bird Feeder Upgrade
Here it is all finished! So cute, right?!

This post contains affiliate links. Click here to ready my disclosure policy.

Materials Needed:

  • Bird Feeder
  • Bird Seed
  • Wooden Post, 4x4x8
  • Quick Setting Concrete
  • Wood Stain
  • Hanging Hooks
  • Hanging Basket
  • Flowers
The before
This is what the bird feeder looked like before. Cute and simple, but we wanted to make it something with a bit more of an impact!

Set Up Wooden Post

The first thing we did for this DIY bird feeder upgrade was to dig a hole with post hole diggers in the spot where we wanted to hang it.

Then, we sat the wooden post inside the hole to make sure we dug it deep enough for it. After that, we filled in the area with quick setting concrete.

Digging a hole for wooden post

Placing Wooden Post Inside Hole
Placing the post where we want it to go.
Getting the Quick Set Concrete Ready
Getting the quick setting cement ready.

All you have to do for that is pour some of the material around the hole, and then water on top to activate it. There is no mixing required which makes it super easy!

If you remember, we did this method for our string lights at our old camper a few years ago.

Activating the Quick Set Concrete
You can see where we poured the quick setting cement here.

After activating it with water, we placed the dirt on top of it. We also ended up mulching a small spot around the post once we were done.

We had an extra bag leftover and thought, why not? It really made it look put together and finished the look perfectly.

Placing the dirt on top of concrete

Stain the Wooden Post

After you have the wooden post securely set up, now you can stain it or paint it whatever color you desire! We decided to go with the same stain that we already have on our back porch.

Since this bird feeder is right off the porch, we wanted it to match and tie in together nicely.

Painting the Wooden Post

We used a Valspar stain in the color Classic Mahogany. We actually need to re-stain our back porch too. If you can see from the photo above, there are several spots where the stain is chipping away.

So I guess that will be another DIY project for a different day for us coming up soon!

Adding the Hooks to the Post

Next up is to add the hooks to the post. This is what we’re going to use to attach the bird feeder to. We got two hooks because we wanted to add in a hanging basket of flowers to make it more aesthetically pleasing as well.

Adding Hooks on Post
Got the hooks nailed on!
Adding Bird Feeder to Hook
And now for the bird feeder to go on!

We also chose to hang them asymmetrical to make it more pleasing to the eye as well. I just love how it turned out and the hooks really tie everything in together.

We also upgraded the hanging basket to a more permanent hanging basket too. But, the container they already come in would have been just fine too. I just like how the basket we got also matches the hooks as well!

I linked the exact hooks we used above too, if you’re interested. They are very sturdy and cheap! Also, If you want to see the whole process in action, check out the reel I shared on my Instagram here:

Well, I hope you enjoyed this little DIY bird feeder upgrade. This was such a simple, inexpensive upgrade to do and it really made the area look much nicer in my opinion.

Plus, the birds seem to like it much more than the first one too! And I will take that! It makes me happy to see them eating away on the new and improved bird feeder!

    Hi Charity,

    Nice job on the transformation of the bird feeder.

    A quick question for you – do you have squirrels that take food from the bird feeder? They can be a bit of a pain here – I know squirrels have to eat too, I just wish that it wasn’t at the expense of the birds! 🙂

    Reply
    • Charity Gentry says

      May 23, 2022 at 11:10 pm

      No, the squirrels haven’t bothered it at all. However, the one I have (and linked in the post) is specifically designed to be squirrel proof as well!

    I’ve been wanting to do something different with the stand of the bird feeder/house I have, as it’s very flimsy and doesn’t hold up well, that might be because the squirrels love the bird house but I like them so that is okay lol. 🙂

I can’t believe this one plant for just $13.98 t I can’t believe this one plant for just $13.98 that I got from @loweshomeimprovement filled all these little pots and planters on my porch!! It’s just a great and cost effective way to fill a lot of planters. I always love to buy the pretty blooming flowers too, but they tend to cost a little more. And doing it this way saves some money and looks just as cute in my opinion! What do you guys think?! Let me know below! 👇🏻

Well I just thought I was looking all cute and fes Well I just thought I was looking all cute and festive at the PGA Championship yesterday, right until a bird crapped all over me.. on the very first hole too!! Swipe over for a good laugh 🤣 So then I got to walk around with bird crap all over me in the 90 degree heat all day while hubby had the time of his life 😜 But, all in all, we had a fun quick trip to Charlotte and back again! Have a happy Saturday my friends!! Hopefully I’ll be safe from the birds today 😂

Happy Morgan Wallen Album Release Day Everyone! 🤣 I’ve been binge listening all morning long so far. We’re on our way to Charlotte again this weekend so I’ve had plenty of time to listen and so far I’m loving it, no surprise there 😉 But we’re heading to the PGA Championship today and hubby is over the moon excited for it. And I’m just along for the ride 😂 It should be a good day though and I hope you all have an amazing Friday my friends! 🙌🏻 And I just thought I’d share a quick view of how I styled some of the vintage patriotic pieces I found last time we were in Charlotte too today! 🇺🇸

And there is a little gem hidden nearby called @thedepotatgibsonmill And if you’re a vintage lover like myself, then you’ve got to check it out!! It was literally the biggest antique store I’ve ever been in and filled to the brim with vintage goodies! My mission was to find some vintage patriotic goodies and I think I accomplished that goal!! 🇺🇸 I can’t wait to go back when we have more time and really shop and explore the place even more! If you’re in that area, you’ve got to go check it out my friends! 😉
