Gourd Bird Feeder

     Here's a fun little summer project where you can combine your love of whirlygigs with the beauty of flowers.

Here's what you'll need:

  • (1) Plastic Pot
  • Quick Cement / water / mixing container / mixing spoon
  • 1" diameter PVC Pipe
  • Masking Tape
  • Drill
Find an appropriate size pot for your project. I used a 10" diameter plastic pot.
Cut a piece of PVC pipe so it will be flush to the top of the pot when installed.
Secure the PVC pipe in the middle of the pot using masking tape to hold it straight.
Mix enough quick cement to fill up half of the pot. Pour it in and let it set till dry.

Drill several holes through the side of the pot just above the cement. This is to let excess water drain out.
Plant your flowers using potting soil and a layer of rocks in the bottom next to the cement for drainage.
Place your whirlygig in the PVC pipe.
On a bigger scale you could add a beach umbrella and create your own shade garden planter.

We hope you liked this project. If you build it and your friends ask where you got such a clever idea, please tell them that you got it at RunnerDuck.com.
