I have seen this craft on several blogs and with the
help of Mr. Corners we made a few for the garden.
Buy cups from your local thrift store
Glue a small plastic flange {from Lowes} to the bottom
of both cups and glue the cups to the saucers
Weigh down with a heavy book and let the glue dry.
Spray paint dowels {the right size to fit in the flange}
and glue them in the flange on the bottom of the cup saucer
Aren't they cute?
I was going to put birdseed in them but someone warned
me that the spilled seed would grow weeds in the garden
so they are empty - merely ornamental

Beautifully done! You are right about the seeds though, I have seen that first hand. Maybe you can add some votive candles for the times you and your husband spend the evening together, in the garden:) Maybe that is dreaming.
I have wanted to do these because I think they are so pretty. I always thought you had to drill. I could do it this way. I'm all about the gorilla glue.
These are too cute!!!
This is SO cute...and easy too! I think my mother in law would love one of these! Thanks for the idea!
I have often admired these cute bird seed cups and wished to have one in my garden. Your directions are great!
Thank you for your sweet words concerning my mom :) They are greatly appreciated!
Kindly, Lorraine
