LOL! I just had my cousin-in-law scour all the 2nd hand stores in Burlington and met her today in Hope BC. She bought a ton for me, all different shapes and colours! I'm giddy with excitement. She also stopped at the dollar store and bought some round type vases and I think they will work too! Yup yup everyone is getting one for Christmas.

TFS. Great job on the Vinyl and great recycle.

If you can't get your hands on any old orbs for cheap here's another alternative. My cousin picked me up some of these for a buck at the dollar store but the holes were too big and it leaned back to far. I set the rope farther back, siliconed it, and after it was set I then cut, with scissors, a portion of an old cd and siliconed it to the front. I cut out a bird with my Cougar and applied it to the front because I was worried the "shiny" might scare the birds away.

What do you think? Tacky? or just another way to recycle?

Nothing tacky about that - I think it is amazingly clever!! Makes me want to go up and down the aisles of the dollar store!

Thanks Gigi, I wasn't sure about it and have limited opinions around my house.

Oh I hope you capture a hungry birdie in the picture - that would be great to see.

Love your creativity.

Terrific idea! So cute. I wonder if hubby has any of those globes squirreled away.
