How to make a teacup bird feeder

This whimsical teacup bird feeder would be a lovely addition to any garden. You should be able to find an extensive selection of teacups at a local thrift shop if you don't have any of your own that might work, so the sky's the limit when it comes to matching your style and decor.

It's much easier to make this project than you might think, so you might as well plan to make some for your friends and family as well. Check out the video and the instructions to see how it's done.

3. Paint the middle ring of the saucer gold with the medium paintbrush.

4. Set the teacup on top of the saucer on its side with the handle pointing up, and fasten it in place with E6000 craft adhesive.
