8. The Upside-Down “Umbrella” Roof

To keep the seeds dry during spring rain, glue a second, larger saucer upside down above the teacup. This acts as a tiny umbrella to protect the “cafe.”

  • Materials Needed: 1 teacup, 2 saucers, a long bolt.
  • Steps:
    • Drill holes in the centers.
    • Secure the bottom saucer, then the cup, then the top saucer (inverted) on the bolt.
    • Tighten with nuts to hold the “roof” in place.
