Craft corner: Tea-riffic Bird Feeder

Use up unwanted or odd cups and saucers to create an adorable tea cup bird feeder that’s also a feast for the eyes!  

Materials

• A cup and saucer, cleaned (make sure it’s not chipped)
• Bird seed and treats
• Twine or string, 3x 50cm lengths
• Glue gun

Method

1. Take your twine or string and tightly tie the ends of them together into a knot. Next, glue the knot to the base of the saucer (and when we say base we mean the underside!).

• Evenly space out the string from underneath your saucer, hold them up and gather together. Tie the ends with a knot so the saucer is securely hanging in the middle.

• Apply glue to the side of your chosen cup and stick to the saucer. Hold in place until dry. Make sure it’s really secure, if not add more glue. Voila!

• Find a wind sheltered area in your garden and hang, adding plenty of bird treats!
