I found these cute coffee cup suet feeders over at Sadies Seasongoods and with spring coming on I had to make some for myself.

Open the suet cakes and put in the glass bowl and pop in the microwave and microwave at 30 second intervals until their melt.

Make a loop out of wire and bend the ends over the cup to hold your stick upright and against the side of the coffee cups.

Pour the melted suet cakes into the coffee cups.

Place a pencil or pen against the sticks to help hold them in place till the suet cakes harden.

Once the suet cakes harden you can hang the coffee cup suet feeders out for your feathered friends.

Aren’t they cute? I made both of them for under $4. Now all I need is some chain or rope to hang my new coffee cup suet feeders.

    Linda, these are so cool, and they will look great in my garden area. The thrift store always has cups for sale, this will be going in my flower garden this year!

      Aren’t these so cute and so easy to make. When I seen these I just had to make some. I need to go back to my Goodwill and get more coffee cups, they were kind of slim picking the day that I went to get these.

    These are really quite charming. I don’t think you need a chain. I like them hanging from the tree! Great idea.

      Thanks Kathryn! I just thought maybe a chain would make it harder on the squirrels to get to. That is if they like suet feeders, I just assumed they did.

        I don’t think the squirrels here like our suet. I know they love the seeds. I hadn’t thought of that problem. Either way. I’m sure the birds will be delighted!

          Thanks Kathryn, I wasn’t sure whether the squirrels ate it or not. Yep the birds are happy. Going to hang some more feeders today.
