Chicken Feeder: Upcycle


My dad gave me this metal chicken feeder, however it didn't work well for feeding our chickens.We normally give them veggie scraps and scratch grains and let them forage for bugs and worms.

I didn't want to get rid of the feeder though, because I really do like it.  I've seen them used for centerpieces and decided to give it a go.


I really liked how it turned out.  I used a mixture of spring flowers from the yard and a store bought bouquet. I like that it's a low centerpiece so you don't have to bob your head around a vase to talk to your dinner guests.
