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. Â 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.

Thanks for coming and linking up at The Weekend Social. Please be sure to come back next week starting Thursdays at 9PM EST on KitchenDreaming.com ! I hope to see you there!
This is such a great project. I had a bird feeder up, but they went through the food so fast!
This is such a cute idea! I’m definitely going to have to show this to my grandmother. She’s the gardener of the family (I fail miserably), and is always looking for stuff like this for the local Garden Club!
This is really cute, and looks like something I could actually do! Probably can get these at the Dollar Store! Thanks for a great idea again!
What a fun birdbath. Thank you for sharing this project with us.
Such a simple and easy project! I think I need a few for my yard!!
so easy to make and looks like you spent a lot of money.Thanks for the post!
I love this project this will be a great project to do with my stepson. Whenever I am at a loss for activities I can always count on you.
Wow…this is really neat. I had to look twice to see what it was….It would be much cheaper than a purchased bird bath. I’m all about DIY projects.
This is such a creative and simple idea. I love how it all works. I am going to have to make one of these.
