Place the teacup on to the saucer and decide where you want the cup to be placed.  Where the teacup goes on the saucer totally depends on the shape of the teacup and how it fits onto the saucer.  Add glue to your teacup and place on to the saucer.

Use masking tape to hold the teacup in place, making sure that the handle is sticking straight up. This helps it stay in place while the glue cures. I usually allow 24 hours.

Depending on the position and size of your cup you might just want to place your bird seed on it, or like we have you can mix the birdseed with lard or peanut butter and fill your cup.

I hang ours from S hooks or vintage necklaces picked up from the charity shop.

The nice thing about this style of teacup bird feeder is that if you use a teacup with a beautiful interior it becomes visible as the birds eat the seeds.
