Default Christmas ornaments

Here is a picture of a handmade ornament I bought over 30 years ago, for no particular reason I have always looked forward to hanging this on my tree. But it is starting to show its age. Does anyone know what was use to portray the bird feeder. It is plastic but not sure what it might have been used for other than this ornament. It is about 2 1/2 inches tall, not too large at all. Let me know your thoughts, would like to make some.

Hard to tell from the picture what it's supposed to be. Can you take more pictures in better light, from different angles?

I think it is plastic communion cups. If you do not have a source private message me and I'll send you some. To buy them at a christian book store I think you have to buy a bunch. If all you want is a few I'll be happy to send you some. Just let me know. We made them years ago, but this is the nicest one I've ever seen.

Can't really tell by the photo what we're looking at. Sorry!

Yes my mom made these with plastic communion cups, The Pastor comes to give My dad communion once a month and I can save them also. I think there still might be a few at Dads. She made plastic canvas tops and added a little bird to hers

If the cup part is 2 and a half inches, it might be one of those plastic disposable wine or champagne cups with the stem cut off. I have a little "bird feeder" made with a communion cup but it is much smaller.
