Teacup Birdfeeder
You will need the following:
You won't really need a hatchet (my hsb wanted to use it cuz it's new)
2 part epoxy
dowel
teacup and saucer
spray paint
Make a point on one end of the dowel:
When that doesn't work (overkill) you can whittle it:
Spray it whatever color you chose:
Mix the epoxy as per the pkg instructions:
Apply to the cup
and set in the center of the saucer:
Apply epoxy to the bottom of the saucer once the cup and saucer has set up:
Allow to set up. Once the epoxy has set up you can insert it inot the ground and fill with birdseed
But honey it is new and I hvent had chnce to use it yet. Love Ya ......Chuck

p.s. I am following you now - so can hardly wait to see what you create next ! no pressure....lol !
I make those too and sell them. Here is another way to do the pipe part. I buy copper end caps in the plumbing section and glue them to the bottom of the cup and saucer then buy copper pipe in a long section (cheaper and can cut many pieces) then you can put it right on the cap. The good part about this way is when winter comes and you want to store the teacup so it won't crack you can take the pipe out and it is easier to put away.
ReplyDeleteI have also used platters, gravy boats, and bowls - nice bird baths..enjoy
Oh thank you! I've been wanting to make these but was unsure of what glue to use. Thank you so much. Take care.
