Completed Hummingbird Feeder!

Apparently, I have an issue with follow through... I get started on one project and then leap ahead to the next!  Yesterday I decided to put the finishing touches (well, the most important part) on the hummingbird feeder.

They sell complete feeder tube kits for these types of feeders, but, being determined to make this piece as creative as possible (not to mention the fact that I'm a pretty frugal person), I decided to make my own feeder tube.

My husband drilled a hole in the center of the cork (after my last go-round with heavy duty tools I was a bit leary).  I then cut a piece of plastic tubing off a section my grandfather had saved (with his permission of course).

As a side note, I used to think that "white hairs" (what my grandfather calls people his age) held onto the weirdest things...  It's turning out that a lot of these items can come in handy.

Anyhoo, I ran the tubing through the hole in the cork and wrapped it in copper wire (adding a few beads here and there).  I then used the red casing from the wire to wrap around the tip... The red tip apparently attracts the hummingbirds.

Lastly, I bent the tubing in a "U" shape to prevent the nectar from spilling out, and secured it to the bottle with some more wire and, of course, another pretty pink embellishment. TA-DA!!!
