Recycle an old soda bottle by turning it into a snack shack for our feathered friends. One tutorial from Microsoft Home Magazine provides step-by-step directions on how to drill strategically positioned holes into your bottle, and then slip dowels through them to create instant perches.

You don't even need to know your way around a toolbox to assemble this easy and economical bird feeder. UncommonGoods' Two-Liter Feeder kit comes packed with a mountable cast zinc adapter, a feeder nozzle, and hanging wire. Simply screw on your plastic bottle, throw in some bird chow, and wait by the window for the fly-by action.
