The quintessential hanging teacup design where the cup rests on its side over the saucer, creating an inviting archway for feeding songbirds.
- Clean the teacup and saucer thoroughly with rubbing alcohol to remove grease and dust, then let them dry completely.
- Apply a generous bead of waterproof E6000 adhesive along the bottom rim and lower side of the teacup.
- Tilt the teacup onto its side and press it firmly against the saucer, ensuring the cup handle faces upward at a 12 o’clock position to serve as a hanging anchor.
- Let the glue cure completely for 24 to 48 hours without moving it (use painter’s tape to hold the cup in place while curing).
- Thread a sturdy ribbon, jute twine, or brass chain through the handle, tie a secure knot, and hang the feeder from a tree branch or shearling shepherd’s hook. Fill the bottom saucer and inside of the cup with wild birdseed.
