How to make it
Use the glue outdoors or with a window open, and let it cure fully before filling with seed.
1Clean the pieces
Wipe the cup and saucer with rubbing alcohol where the glue will go. Scuff glossy spots lightly with sandpaper.
2Glue the cup
Glue the cup on its side onto the saucer, with its rim near the saucer's edge.
3Tape it in place
Hold the cup with masking tape while the glue cures. Follow the glue's cure time, often 24 hours.
4Attach the stake or chain
Glue the bottom of the saucer to the top of the pipe, or glue a chain loop to the cup's handle. Let it cure again.
5Fill and place
Push the stake into a flower bed and fill the cup with seed. Watch for your first visitor.
Edie's tipRinse it every 2 weeks with hot soapy water. Moldy seed makes birds sick.
