You also need to attach the handle to the upper plate to make it convenient to open the hopper. Well, firmly install the pole. You can read all the nuances of the assembly in the instructions on the website of the author of the project.

Here is what you need

• Flower pot 15 cm high
• Two clay plates of 20 cm
• Drawer handle (with related equipment)
• E-6000 glue (or any industrial durable glue)
• Large plate for the pedestal. But this is an option, you can use any dishes, a board or not put anything at all, it's just so beautiful.

From tools drill with a diamond crown (large enough to make a hole for the handle) and rubber washers. And of course you need to find a suitable pillar with a height of approximately 1.8 m.

The second option of a flower pot feeder. Here the device is a little more complicated, but the task is quite feasible.

Here is what you need

• Then make holes, they should coincide with the holes in the flower pot. Cut or drill a hole in the bottom of the bottle.
• Screw the hook bolt through the saucer and wand. Attach the wire to the bolt.
• Fill the tank (plastic bottle) with seeds and hang up the feeder!

• metal or wooden pin
• wire or rope
• an Apple

The main and only difficultthe task is to make a large central hole. If you have a special tool - a Forstner drill or a pen drill, the most common option with which it is very simple to make a hole even for an inexperienced master, then there is no problem. Although you can try with an ordinary tool, it just will be long, uneven and ugly.
Then you will need to make two small holes on the sides, where the pin will be inserted. At the end, make a “roof”, that is, saw along a thick branch and screw it to the feeder with screws. Attach a piece of wire to the same screws to suspend the feeder. The frame for the fruit is ready. String an apple or hang. Birds will love it.

Very similar feeder projectbut there are some differences. A 20mm pine board was used here, part from the old shelf, although hardwood is clearly better.

1. Mark the rectangle 160 mm x 140 mm and find the center. To do this, draw lines from corner to corner, noting where they intersect. Use a compass to mark a circle with a diameter of 90 mm
2. Then cut a rectangle and cut a circle using the tools described in the previous block.
3. Drill a small hole under the large hole of the same size as the dowel.
4. Insert the skewer so that it protrudes the same on both sides.
5. Then drill each side of the “frame” using a 2 mm drill.
6. Take a piece of the branch and cut it in half, lay half and drill a 4 mm hole about 40 mm from the ends in the center.
7. Using two screws, fasten them along the upper edge, overhanging about 10 mm at each end, install the screw or bracket in the upper part in the center.
8. Bend the loop at the end of the wire and cut 140 mm where the contour ends - the pin should fit snugly through the two side holes, if necessary, bend the tip slightly to tighten the fit,
9. String an apple or other similar object, something that suits the birds.

Pumpkin feeder

This is a short instruction on how to make a pumpkin feeder.

The first step is to dry the pumpkin. Put it in a dry place for about a month. To check if the pumpkin is ready to use, just shake her, if you hear the seeds rattle inside, you can get to work. Although it may take several months.

Then cut the pumpkin in half.

Remove the seeds and make the holes that we will use to hang the feeders.

We will need 3 holes evenly distributed along the edge. Then simply insert the wire into the holes and twist it, as shown in the photo. When all wires are fixed, loop.

Finally, fill the pumpkin with seeds and hang a feeder on a tree.

Of course this project requires patiencebut you can try for the sake of the birds.
