Decorate your birdfeeder

I found a humming bird feeder that was cheap because its flowers were missing. All it needed was some sugru and bits of sea shells from the beach. First I sorted out and arranged shell pieces, then applied them to a tiny doughnut shaped piece of sugru. My top tip at this point is to put the sugru on a small piece of foil so it can be peeled off later. Set the shells firmly into the sugru, wait a minute, then lift everything up and remove the backing and apply to the feeder.  Fiddle with them to make sure they look good and don't fall off before they dry. I used a pencil to keep the holes open to the correct width. Prop up the shells as you go. I let them dry for two days before hanging outside. Merrilee, Florida
