Looking for some simple, quick and CHEAP garden decor that the birdies will love? Check it out…with a few supplies you can make bird baths and feeders in less than a minute. Yes, you read that correctly. Less than a minute! Here’s what you’ll need to make ’em:
- a bud vase or two
- a cup and saucer and/or a shallow cereal bowl (I bought the vases and china at my local thrift store for less than $4.)
- 36″ long x 3/4″ diameter dowels
- clear caulk
Step 1: To make the saucer feeder, apply caulk to the saucer and position cup over it.
Step 2: Apply caulk to the bottom of vase and position saucer/cup assembly over it. (If making the saucer type, just skip to step 2.)
Step 3: Let caulk set up until hard.
Step 4: Drive dowels into ground or large pot.
Step 5: Wait for birdies to find ’em.
