Storm-proof seed/suet ball hook

Every year we try to provide food to some of the many birds holding out the cold winter of Norway. We use birdfeeders for seeds together with seed balls hung from branches. The latter poses a bit of a challenge though: You either have to hang them up using rope, which is fiddly, or with s-hooks, which tend to fall off with the slightest wind.

So I decided to try to make a bit more weather-proof version of the s-hook, specifically for use with seed balls. By making the part of the hook that hangs on the branch much longer and adding an inward lip to prevent it from falling off so easily, and then adjusted the part where I thread the seed ball in such a way that the thread cant loosen as easily, I think I’ve solved my main pain points.

I’ve tried it for a while now, and it seems to work as intended.

If you are looking for something particular you can't find or would love a slight modification of my models to fit your specific need, just let me know and I'll see what I can do. 

If you like what I do I would appreciate a like, but even more so a comment or a picture of your printed model and how you used it. Also, take a look at some of the other things I made here:

Best of luck.
