  1. This is a great idea. How do you drill the holes? I have tried and failed. Broke the items. My husband is super handy and clever, and he couldn't do it. Stumped!

    1. Check out the complete tutorial here: http://erinscreative.blogspot.com/2012/06/diy-bird-feeder.html

      Erin share's her trick: placing a block of wood under the item. Do you think a piece of tape might help too? Perhaps packing or duct tape?

  2. Try melting the spot thin enough to drill it maybe?

  3. Go get a drywall screw and a hammer. Place the tip of the screw exactly where you want to drill, then tap it ever so gently with the hammer to pierce the glaze and create a little divot. Now load a masonry bit into your drill driver and use the divot to hold it in place as you start drilling. No fissures, no scratches, no fuss.

    Hope that works!
