Mosaic Bird Feeder

Mosaic Feeder

The birds probably won't appreciate the cool, stylish design of this feeder, but it's sure to have some human admirers. Kay Thomerson designs these mosaic feeders, which are truly one of a kind. When you're working with stained glass mosaic pieces, one piece is never quite like another.

Make it yourself:

• Kay uses scraps and leftovers from stained glass.
• You can draw out a design (like the birdhouse design of the one pictured) or just use an abstract shape.
• Draw out the shape you want. Then use a mosaic nipper to cut the pieces to the size and shape you need.
• Glue the pieces to the base, a clay pot saucer. Once the glue is dry, use nonsanded grout to fill it in. Kay likes to use a grout color that will let the colors of the mosaic stand out. Let the grout dry for at least 24 hours.
