This DIY Bird Bath is such an easy and fun backyard garden project. All you need is a couple of terra cotta pots, a saucer and an epoxy adhesive.
How to Make a DIY Bird Bath
My yard is a popular place for birds, squirrels and all sort of wild creatures. I’ve been wanting to give the birds living in my yard a water source for a while now, but I wasn’t finding quite the right one. My solution was this simple DIY Bird Bath.
Materials Needed
2 large terra cotta pots of equal size
1 large terra cotta saucer
epoxy glue adhesive
paint and paint brush (optional)
How to Make a Bird Bath
1. To create the base of the bird bath, glue the open ends of the terra cotta pots together. Allow to set, according to the directions on your adhesive.
2. Glue the bottom of the saucer to the top of your base. Allow to set completely.
3. At this point you are finished with your project. Optionally, you can do as I have and add some decorative paint. I put a simple band of paint around the rim of the saucer. Because my epoxy seeped through a little when I glued my pots together, I added another band of paint to cover that up.
4. Place the bird bath in your yard, add water as needed, and enjoy watching the wild life in your yard thrive.
That is so cute and simple! I love it. I am going to make one for our yard too.
We should do a bird bath in our backyard. My toddler would get a kick out of that!
That is a great inexpensive way to make a bird bath. I love it! Thanks for sharing it. I love all the great ideas from Miracle Gro.
What a great idea!!! That turned out so cute. I totally want to do this!
Love this idea; so simple and easy and I bet it doesn’t cost a lot either. Thanks for sharing!
Oh I love that. I need to get a bird bath in my yard Even though we live on a lake I know a bird bath would help.
Very cute and innovative!
I <3 your birdbath! I never would have thought of that… store bought ones are SO EXPENSIVE! That would make a great gift idea, too.
my kids would love to make a little bird bath too- and with this one, it’s not super big so it wouldn’t encourage mosquitos to breed!
I am a little afraid to do any projects this Summer – we found a puppy earlier this year and so far she has destroyed nearly everything in my backyard.
