- Materials Needed: A vintage teacup and matching saucer, heavy-duty waterproof epoxy or ceramic glue, a wooden stake or metal rebar, and birdseed.
- How to Make It: Lay the saucer flat, and apply a generous ring of waterproof ceramic glue to the center. Tilt the teacup gracefully on its side, resting the rim and handle against the glued center of the saucer so it looks like it is spilling seeds onto the plate. Allow the glue to cure for 24 hours. Once dry, you can rest it on a garden table or mount it securely onto a vertical wooden garden stake. Fill the saucer and cup opening with seeds.
- Tips and Variations: Wrap the handle of the teacup with a length of velvet ribbon or rustic twine to add an extra layer of textural contrast.
