DIY Hanging Porch Bird Feeder

Materials
1 yellow metal bundt pan
1 flat black vinyl record
Strong adhesive or epoxy glue
2-3 feet of durable twine or chain
Drill with a small drill bit
S-hook or similar hanging hardware
Directions
Clean the vinyl record and the bundt pan thoroughly to ensure they are free of dust and grease.
Apply a generous amount of strong adhesive or epoxy glue to the top edge of the vinyl record.
Firmly press the bottom of the yellow metal bundt pan onto the glued side of the vinyl record, ensuring it is centered.
Allow the adhesive to dry completely, following the glue manufacturer's instructions for drying time.
Using a drill, carefully make three evenly spaced holes around the outer edge of the vinyl record.
Thread the twine or chain through each hole, tying knots to secure or use the S-hook if applicable.
Hang the bird feeder on your porch using the twine or chain, ensuring it is stable and secure.


Variations & Tips
For a more personalized touch, consider painting the vinyl record with weather-resistant paint in a color that complements your porch decor. Alternatively, swap the yellow bundt pan for a different color to match your design theme. If you prefer a more natural look, replace the vinyl record with a wooden disc or slice. Additionally, you can attach small decorative elements such as beads or bells to the twine or chain for added charm.
