Absolutely gorgeous. You move so gently and smoothly. I’m going to try this. I’ve never even heard of glass glued feeders. Stunning. Cute puddy tats too! Thank you.
Thanks so much 😊♥
Very pretty‼️ just to make me feel more secure I would make a simple macrame hanger (glass can get heavy) THANK YOU FOR NOT USING PLASTIC😻
That would be a great idea! I bet that would look pretty too : )
Your beautiful cats got the memo that you were making a bird feeder! They are so adorable and so is the bird feeder. ❤
Thank you! 😊 They are always so curious about what I am making : ) ♥
That turned out so pretty. The JB weld is incredibly strong. I would have liked to have seen though, bird seed in it with birds feeding. Maybe next time. Thanks again. 🦋
Thank you! Yes I need to make video of the birds on the feeder ; )
A masterpiece! Would love to see it with seeds and birds
Thank you! Coming soon : )
This is the most gorgeous DIY. I think I’ve ever seen love your imagination. The squirrels can’t get in it either because the top is too slippery. Very cool. Kudos to you.
Thank you so much! And you're right about the squirrel deterrent : ) ♥
I live in an area with frequent hail storms, large sized hail at times. I am thinking of watching for cute plastic style bowls that look like glass. I have seen them at dollar stores, discount stores, etc. I think less risk of broken glass all over the place due to a lot of the weather extremes we face here.
Great idea! Plastic would work.. where do you live that receives a lot of hail?
I live on Vancouver Island and glass reflecting on dry grass can start fires, not to mention wind or squirrel.
There actually are some pretty melamine plates that would be durable and colorful and non-reflextive.
Wouldn't they melt in the summer heat? I live in the far southwest of the US.
Santa Fe, NM. It gets HOT here. We're in a severe drought, so my flowers are going to be glass. I just hope they don't magnify the sun, to catch the dry grass on fire. That's ALL we need. In the meantime, I'll keep them on the deck or our patio in pots until I'm sure they don't. Another reader said they would. I don't know. I hope how ever you make your garden art, that it works for you. 😊
Thanks for the idea. ❤️
Very pretty …I love all your choices of glass!👍🏻
Thanks so much! 😊
Your glass art is MY favorite. I live in Santa Fe, NM. We're in a severe drought, where everything is bone dry. We lost several trees and plants this yr, so much so that we're going to have to re landscape with drought resistant trees and plants plus hardscape. I want to make this type of glass garden art in the meantime at least to put on my patios and walkway. I have to be careful where I put these, so I don't burn anything down. I never thought of that until another person mentioned how the sun can magnify off dry grasses and catch fire. I'll be careful. Its something that everyone should be aware of. In the meantime, I love glass art. Thank you so much for sharing how to make these beautiful pieces! Blessings ~ 🌹
Thank you! You can always put these on a porch or in the shade... Make some solar water fountains for the birds since it is so dry there. Have fun creating your own! ♥
Simply beautiful, great job.
Thank you very much! ♥
$$ Tree U can purchase battery powered mini light's to add sparkle at night! Gorgeous Bird Feeder! Can hear Bird's in back ground..They know U are making them a surprise!😂 Your Cat's are Beautiful😹 I see they help Momma with everything! Precious! Look forward to watching again! ✌Tina, from Georgia
Thank you so much! I would like to try lights sometime to see how it looks at night ; ) And yes, love my kitties, my little helpers ♥
Wow, stunning and love your kitties too 🐾🐦
Thank you! 😊♥
I wanna' go glass shopping with you! Such pretty pieces. 😍
Any time! : )
Your glass creations are absolutely beautiful. I admire people with creative and talented minds. I just found your channel last night and am so glad I did. Take good care all....
Thank you so much! ♥
the most beautiful bird feeder I have ever set eyes on, so serene where you live , you have a kind calm voice and your feline family are also so gentle not even touching the fragile glass 🥰 thank you , from Cornwall, UK . Hope you are all safe from the gators
Wow, thank you, you are too kind. My kitties are pretty well behaved and seem to like being on camera : ) Will watch for those gators! I have seen one from time to time.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love it! What a beautiful project!
Thank you! 😊♥
It's stunning and in my favourite glass colour as well
Thank you! I love this color too ♥
Love The Colors I don't think I could find everything to Match like that but I'm going to start Looking. BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU.
There are so many variations you can do, each one will be unique ♥ Have fun making one!
Oh my goodness, you could make some fabulous art by mixing and matching colors, textures and patterns.
Tu inspectora de control de calidad es hermosa, igual que tu trabajo!!❤
Thank you! Love my inspector : ) ♥
You have some beautiful cats! How easy is it to clean your bird feeders and baths? Another wonderful piece. I just can't believe that these pieces come from your thrift store. Clear glass isn't something we see much in our stores. Dang it!
Thank you! It's harder to find colored transparent glass! Thinking about trying stained glass paint... ♥
These videos make me want to go out to the local Good Will and find some glassware! I'm in the process of moving so that's not going to happen right now. But I've got a lot of great ideas for the gardens I am planning in the new place. Love this bird feeder!
It's so fun to plan gardens and decor! Good luck with your new place : )
@@MyLittleSliceofParadise Thank you! I plan to have a couple of glass flowers in my yard!
Gorgeous creation!

Beautiful cats are they waiting for the birds to come lol great idea for bird feeder I will be making this for my daughter
Lol I'm sure, they like watching the birds! Have fun! ♥
Just beatiful.
Thank you! ♥
That is beautiful! I especially like the wide bowl used, it looks like it will keep the seed dry.👍🏼
I think so too! It's working so far : ) Thank you ♥
Very pretty
Thank you! 😊
Love the greens. I like your vision of hanging items.
Thank you! 😊
Absolutely stunning!! Wonderful work! I only have 2 concerns, one, as mentioned by a previous commentor, broken glass from storms, the second is the potential for fire from the sun shining through the glass. While the sparkle is beautiful, perhaps a slightly more shaded, protected area. It might get a bit hot for the birds, out in full sun as well.
Thank you! There is always that chance that one could break. If there is a hurricane coming I would bring it inside. I am going to check on the dangers of glass & fire.. ♥
I had a hanging crystal and a few other hanging glass fancies in a southern exposure window for years. I added two other crystal trophies on the window sill. Not even two weeks later I thought I smelled a camp fire but didn’t think more about it till dusting next morning. The sun had focused through a crystal golf ball and burned into window sill easy quarter inch deep in the size of a quarter! Really burned not just charred! Needless to say they were moved to northeastern window immediately! I’m not sure if it has to be ground a certain way or any real lead crystal would do same. The hanging crystals were faceted but much less in cut surfaces! They remain in southern window but of course I’m aware now and hopefully I’d catch any changes after none for years!
❤ I just Love this bird feeder! Absolutely beautiful high end…elegant piece! SO impressed with everything you SO meticulously create! Wow! ❤
Thank you so much!
So pretty, and unique!
Thank you! 😊
very nice project...
Thank you! ♥
That is beautiful
Thank you! ♥
Gorgeous ❤
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! ♥
I love you're creations! I make standing bird baths from candle pillars and bowls, but I love the idea of making them from glass after seeing yours! I am now on a mission to find colorful glassware! :-)
Half the fun is shopping for the right pieces ; )
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you! 😊
I would imagine that squirrels would slide right off that bowl!! Very pretty!
I think you're right! ♥
That's very beautiful; my mom would have loved that in her garden. I need to make a few for me :)
Go for it! Thanks you ♥
I want to try this and this video is amazing and informative keep posting !!!
Thank you so much♥!
Very, very pretty and nice. I'm gonna try to make one like that. We have lots of squirrels. Live out in the country area. A lot of squirrels have a huge oak tree in my backyard and I thought I could hang someone on the lower branches and the top bowl would keep the squirrels from getting to the bird feeder. That would be a good idea. I could do a bird feeder in a water bath once for food in one food water. Thank you for what you do
That's so true, this seems to work well for keeping squirrels out, they would slip right off! Have fun making your own! ♥
Beautiful
Thank you! ♥
Very very very pretty I put it on my to do list along with other glass art thank you
Wonderful! Thank you ♥
Gorgeous! Please show it with seeds & birds. You have a gorgeous spot! 😍
I will do that ! Thanks : )
So beautiful!! I am getting inspired by your talents. Thank You for sharing!
Thanks so much 😊
What a great idea
Thank you! ♥
I love your birdfeeder and the meticulous way you create items.
Thank you so much! ♥
💞
♥
I hear a red bellied woodpecker! Lovely feeder!
Yes there are several in the yard : ) Thank you! ♥
Thanks for sharing! No I know what to do with all that unnecessary stuff I inherited from my mother. I'd recommend sanding the glass where you join the pieces. So the epoxy has a better chance to hold onto the surface.
Thanks for the tip! I will make sure to so that next time : ) ♥
Very, very pretty❤❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊
💙This is perfectly Stunning!
Thank you! ♥
Love your little helper. So cute.
Thank you! 😊Love my helpers too ♥
Absolutely stunning.
Thank you so much! ♥
I LOVE this bird feeder! I have to have one!!! I’ll be looking for all the bowls and candlesticks to make one for my garden!!! I especially love the shape of the big bowl and the green-tinted glass items you used. But if I can’t find those, I’ll definitely make at least one as similar to yours as possible. But I’d love to have several! I have no restraint…But oh my! This is gorgeous!
Thank you! That bowl was a cool find and I wasn't sure what I was going to use it for. It's fun to collect glassware and figure out how to use them later. Have fun making them! ♥
I don’t normally like the glass bird feeders but yours is beautiful!
Thank you! : ) ♥
It turned out very pretty, especially in the light. Does the glue fall apart over time?
Thank you! The glue has held up fine so far. The only glue I had a problem with is E6000 melting in the hot sun. Although in the shade it did fine : )
I love your creations!!!!!❤ Wish I was closer
Thank you! : ) ♥
Love love love c'est magnifique felicitation madame 👌😺🐱😺💙💙💙🥰

New Sub here. Your teal glass birdfeeder is just darling. 🐦What a treasure in the garden! Do you ever sell any of your pieces? 🐦
Thank you! I usually just give them to family and friends or put them in the gardens : )
This is so beautiful!! Probably my favorite color. Thanks for the tutorial 🌞😃🕊️🐦⬛
Mine too! Thank you ♥
THAT IS BEAUTIFUL ❤❤
Thank you! ♥
I'm gonna try this thank you very pretty and I love the colors 💕
Please do! And thank you ♥
Beautiful 😍
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! ♥
This is really beautiful! I'm wondering how well it's holding up outside using the JB weld? Have you used JB Weld in the past on outdoor glass, if so how long does it last outside? Again, really beautiful!
So far the JB weld epoxy is holding up great! I had problems with some of the feeders when I used E6000. I still use E6000 for birdbaths. But am trying other adhesives...
This one is so beautiful! I want to make this! Love the colors in the glass.
Thanks so much 😊
Very pretty! Thanks for the idea! I have lots of glass at home. It looks lovely hanging out in your yard❤
They are so fun to make! Thank you ♥
Darling Girl- How beautiful! I love the color and your style! ( you sure have a steady hand)
Thank you so much! ♥
Absolutely beautiful. Question: How weather resistant are these? Do you take them in for winter? I find it incredible the epoxy would have the strength to hold up all this heavy glass!
Thank you! The epoxy is holding up wells so far, and I believe I will take them in if there is a hurricane coming : )
Beautiful, I love the design and color. Cindy in NC
Thank you so much! ♥
You are so creative. ❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊
Simply Beautiful👍
Thank you so much 😊
very very nice
Thank you! : )
Very Beautiful, and you are very gifted.
Thank you! 😊
So so pretty! And so cleverly put together!
Congratulations on reaching 1,000 subscribers! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much! 😊
Are they for sale?? Bird feeders are so beautiful. Could you please show videos of birds eating out of them thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
I don't sell them, but do gift them to friends and family : ) Will get video of birds on the feeders soon ♥
beautiful bird feeder one could also use a pan lid.
Thank you! Yes that would work : )
I am in love with your creations! I just found your UA-cam station. I can’t stop watching your videos! Excellent job with excellent instructions! Do you think the epoxy is toxic for the birds though? I don’t know, I would hope not.
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching : ) The epoxy is not toxic once it dries ♥
It’s beautiful, good job! I hope you will fill it with bird seed 😊
Thank you! And yes I will be filling them with bird seed : )
Gorgeous! Question-Does the JB Weld work better on glass than E6000?
Yes it does! I found that it works better for a hanging weight to use a stronger adhesive.
I just recently found your site and I love what you do!😊 Do you sell what you make at all?
Thank you! I usually give them to family and friends or put them in the gardens ; )
