As a child, I loved Disney’s movie “Alice in Wonderland.” I was enchanted by the wild antics that ensued at the Mad Hatter’s tea party, and always dreamed of how fun it would be to happen upon an “un-birthday party” in the woods. Now that I have kids, I’ve decided to create a Mad Hatter inspired garden area (see my teapot bird bath!), where we can picnic and celebrate un-birthdays. Best of all, I get to recycle items purchased at Goodwill San Antonio.

As part of my “mad hatter” theme, I’ll need lots of tea cups. I realized it would be fun to have cups not just on the table, but also hanging from the trees. I’ve seen several versions of teacup bird feeders, and knew I wanted to make one. Here’s how I made my tea party themed bird feeder.
Supplies:
- Tea cup
- Saucer
- E-6000
- Paint
You could place your feeder on a post or stand, instead. I’m planning to make several with my kids to hang in our garden. My new bird feeder complements my teapot bird bath perfectly! Now I just need to find a Cheshire cat….
