Are you ready to make a bird feeder??

Drill through the plastic

When you decide on the length, cut the rod.

I used a Dremel tool to cut through it, however, you might also use a metal saw.

Step 2.Drill a hole in the middle of the plastic bowl and saucer that you will be using.

Secure the rod with hex nuts

Remember to be careful and apply minimal pressure so you dont crack while drilling.

Use a tool to tighten the hex nuts so the bowl doesnt move around.

it’s possible for you to also use washers to secure it as well (but I didnt).

Add the hook onto the hanging bird feeder

confirm to go extra slow to minimize any cracking on the plastic saucer.

Secure the eye bolt through second hole to use for hanging.

you’re able to string your hanging DIY bird feeder up in a tree with just about anything.
