Hanging Bird Feeder

Made from various things left behind by the previous owners of my new place.

Step 1: Materials Misused:

• Plant hanger with 3 chains
• Crystal ash try (thrift stores have loads of them)
• Gas stove burner grate

Step 2: Assemble the Feeder

• Turn burner grate upside down

• Attach chains from hanger to burner grate - evenly spaced

• Place ash tray on grate

Step 3: That's It!!

• Hang from a tree branch

• Fill with bird food of choice

• Enjoy the squirrel acrobatics getting to the feeder!!!

To prevent the burner grate from becoming rusty: spray paint with a rust prevention paint (making sure it is clean first). This is my kind of crafty with unusual items!
