Dance of the pie-pan birds
Sparkling pie-pan birds dance in the wind, scaring away deer and other thieves from a country garden. Flying Swallow Pattern here. How to instructions below.
Cut pie-pans into fanciful shapes like butterflies, or flowers, or use our free flying bird pattern.
• Print the pattern
• Cut out the pattern
• Trace around the pattern onto the back of a pie-pan with a laundry marker
•
Use a sturdy pair of shears to cut inside the traced lines
•
Punch a hole along the top edge with a nail or awl

We used glittering tinsel string to tie them to a trellis, but you can use recycled string, wire, or raffia
• Attach them to a tree limb, a deck, or a pole with a cross-T, like clothes line poles
Max does deer patrol along with the pie-pan birds.
