Easy
Bird feeder made of old cups and saucers...All of the dishes are glass
I use the diamond drill bit to drill on my husbands drill press
I put a little piece of styrofoam under dish to cushion and for the drill bit to hit when going thru plate
I put dish in shallow baking pan and fill with just enough water to cover dish
To glue cup to plate I use E6000 glue found at Hobby Lobby, it should set for 72 hrs.
The chain goes thru hole in glass...attaches to the hooks i found at Hardware store in the Ball chain section...same hook goes on top of chain...then put the ring through each hook.that is your hanging ring. Usually 3-4 chains for each dish depending on how big the dish is..Check all, my birdfeeder post..for more pics..:)
Old cups/saucers make pretty bird feeders...
The tools needed...The chain came from Lowe's..the little hooks I found at a Hardware store in the ball chain department...got the rings at Hobby Lobby
