For the Birds......

Teacup & Saucer bird feeder gifts..
Gather your materials from thrift shops or flea markets..wash them well, & rough up the spots you will be "connecting" with a little steel wool. Wipe away debris.
If you don't find matching saucers, find similar & add a little detail that makes them LOOK like they match... I even paint a stripe around the base of the vase, sometimes...
Now start piecing them together with your bead of E6000 glue or Loctite marine glue. Add a little weight, a stack of books. Let dry 24 hrs.
I buy some tulle & put wild bird seed in the center, enough to fill the cup, & tie with a pretty bow.
Add any post...
Enjoyed the project?
