John drilled a hole partway through the larger rod & inserted the smaller. Then we glued wooden finials to the sides. <br /><br />To attach it to the tree we zip-tied the stand to the metal center pole of the tree.<br /><br />Hope that helps!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888187687405622408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-45022343089407241382021-11-14T11:24:29.295-05:002021-11-14T11:24:29.295-05:00How did you make the base the Phoenix sits on so t...How did you make the base the Phoenix sits on so that you can attach it to the top of your tree?RoxyBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-65443041346615014062021-11-07T13:31:54.657-05:002021-11-07T13:31:54.657-05:00Thanks for the new link!

Did it just look funny or were they too difficult to stick to the plastic? I'm making my own version of this for a Harry Potter table and am considering trying to cover it with feathers since my decoy bird ended up being black underneath instead of white, so then I decided to drill some small holes to allow light to escape.
