Recycle your unused vintage teacups into interesting garden features with these two teacup DIY ideas.
Teacup Bird Feeder
- Lay the teacup on its side with the handle facing up. Keep the cup off-centre to provide space for the seeds and for the birds to land.
- Secure to a saucer with epoxy.
- When the epoxy has been set (check the drying times on your chosen products packaging), tie a piece of twine or chain around the handle and hang it from a tree or awning.
- Fill with bird seeds and wait for your feathered friends to join you in the garden.

Teacup Planter
- Place your teacup upside down over an old towel or rag.
- Using a 10mm diamond drill bit, drill a drainage hole in the base of the cup. Start at a slight angle to wear down the outside and tilt upwards as you drill further into the cup.
- Flip the cup around, fill it with potting soil and plant your favourite plants in your new planter.
