Homemade birdfeeder

Care for a spot of tea?


So I saw some of these homemade bird feeders down in Wimberley, TX and thought I would give it shot in making one for myself.  So I made a trip to the local Goodwill to find some colorful saucers, plates, and small bowls.  To drill a hole through the middle of the porcelain dinnerware, I had to buy a tile drill bit at Home Depot.  Making sure to keep the drill bit wet, I was able to drill through the 3 pieces but either the drill bit became dull or the next plate was just way to thick.  I used a extra long bolt and washers to connect the pieces and a small piece of green chain to hang it up.  Not that bad for my first attempt.
