Salt & Pepper Birds

Making the Flock of Birds pinch project into salt and pepper shakers.

Make holes for shaker and refilling

Once completing the Flock of Birds Project bird, but when the lay is still leather-hard, make holes in the top of the bird for the salt or pepper to come out, and a larger hole in the base of the bird for refilling the shaker. Use a needle tool or slightly larger tool for the shaker holes. For the Refill hole, make an indented area with a smaller hole in the center, about 1/2 inch across.

Glaze

Take care not to get glaze in the shaker holes.

Use rubber stopper or cork

Fill your shaker with the seasoning of choice, and use a rubber stopper or small cork to close up the refill hole. Stoppers can be purchased at ceramics supply stores and kitchen stores. Enjoy your shaker!
