| Tea Cup Bird Feeder |
 This is a quick easy fun gift for mothers day, spring teas, or summer birthdays.
You will need:
- 1 - 1/2 inch pvc tubing 40 inches long cut into 10 inch lengths.
- 1/2 inch end cap pvc
- a saucer
- a tea cup or a coffee cup
- glue (I use gorilla glue)
Instructions:
Turn tea cup upside down. Run glue around the bottom. Attach the saucer. Then glue the closed end of cap to the middle bottom of the saucer. This should set for several hours. Attach the end piece to the tubing and stick in the ground. Add bird seed and watch the birds come.

You can also use pvc pipe and a cap. just glue the cup and saucier to the cap of the pvc pipe. Then to clean it just take the cap off of the pipe.

I used a high speed Dremel to drill holes in cup and saucer for drainage and bathroom caulking to put the two together. They have lasted for years.

Love them however I am also curious about what happens when it rains and the size....it looks taller than 10" in the photo. Guess you could make them whatever size you want.

Instead of PVC tubing I use table ends or something similiar. Also, how do you keep it from filling up w/ water when it rains?

Hi are you making four of these out of the 40 inches of PVC. Could you make them taller? I wonder if two at 20 inches tall would look cute?

What kind of bugs are those on the ground? They look huge! The tea cup/saucer is attached to? what kind of pole? Plastic wood, metal? Did you glue the cup to saucer? Truly a beautiful gift idea. I would love to make a few as candle holders for my patio and/or indoors too. After the puppy grows of course!

Editor's Note: The pole is the PVC tubing described in the instructions. You should be able to get it at any hardware store.
