 Materials:
- 40" length of 3/4" copper pipe
- 3/4" copper end cap
- cup and saucer
- Goop glue
Directions:
- You will need a 40" piece of 3/4" copper pipe. Note: At a
local Lowe's, 10' cost $4.97 and they will cut it into three equal pieces of
40" each for free. End caps are about 20 cents.
- Glue cup to saucer. Turn upside down and glue the 3/4" copper end cap
to the bottom of saucer. Weight it with a book or
something heavy and let it dry overnight.
- Carefully fit the end cap (with glued saucer) onto the 40" length of
copper pipe. Note: When you remove it for easy cleaning be sure to
grasp the end cap and not the saucer.
- Pour some birdseed into the center of a piece of tulle or nylon
netting and tie off with ribbon or
raffia. Put this bag of seed in cup with laminated poem.
- Eileen will attest that these really work with proof in the picture!
Eileen says she tried it with water in the cup and it made a mess so
she fills the cup with birdseed. Wouldn't it be cute to make a set
with a teacup feeder and a birdbath bowl? Make one with the teacup
and saucer and the other with a bowl and saucer. Fill the teacup
feeder with birdseed and the birdbath bowl with water. The bowl
would give more room like a birdbath where birds could play in the bowl
of water while others ate from cup a little further away. More
sales too!! Eileen sells her feeders for $15.

Poem 3: Birdbath bowl - Fill bowl
