Using facade paint, paint the container bright and original. You can draw a funny face or a floral pattern, in short, how much your imagination will allow you to “turn around”.
An excellent service can serve the usual old rubber tires. To the delight of children, you can make a small dinosaur or a crocodile out of them by burying the tires half in the ground and painting them with the appropriate facade paint.
To decorate a pond on the territory of a personal plot, you can make swans and ducks from the tires. For the manufacture of a swan, you need a tire, white, red and black paint. From the middle of the tire, carefully cut the neck and head and bend it out. Cut the sides in the form of wings and also bend. Then open the swan twice with white paint. Then, with the help of black and red paint, outline the lines of the beak, eyes and wings. Eyes can be made from ordinary buttons.

Using glue, glue the saucer and cup, then glue the spoon to the side of the saucer.You can install such a feeder on the windowsill or in the garden on a pedestal made of wood or metal. Pour water into a cup, and pour food in a saucer. The feeder is ready!
