Flower Pot DIY Bird Bath Craft

We love birds. We love to search out bird sanctuaries to look for birds to watch. We have bird houses around the yard and lots of bird feeders. Since I have always loved making things to decorate the yard, and I really love flower pot crafts, I decided to make a bird bath as a flower pot craft.

Especially after making the topsy turvy flower pots recently, I wanted to make something for the birds that would kind of go with my theme of flower pots. This flower pot bird bath came together in no time and was extremely easy to do.

What Rocks Are Best to Put Inside a Bird Bath?

Birds do not normally want to sit inside the bird bath in the water. Adding rocks can make it much easier for the birds to use the bird bath. It doesn’t matter what kind of rocks you use as long as they are clean. You do not want to put dirty rocks into the bird bath.

What Birds use Bird Baths?

A lot of birds use birdbaths, even ones that do not use it as a bath. Bird baths also serve as a source of fresh water which is a help to many types of animals. Warblers, finches, and hummingbirds, as well as other song birds, will love the bird bath, but even owls and hawks will enjoy the bird bath. The bird bath is great for other animals, like squirrels and butterflies, will love to use the bird feeder. It is extremely important to make sure it is clean with fresh water in it to prevent the animals from getting sick. You also want to make sure it doesn’t have mosquito larva in it.

How to Make a DIY Bird Bath

Paint the pots. I like to use spray paint because it covers well; it is inexpensive and covers quickly.

After all of the pieces are painted and dried, glue the pots together. You want to glue the rims together and then once that dries, glue the disks on. One is for the base to make the bird bath sit stable. The other is for the top to hold the water.

Once everything is dry, find a nice place for the bird bath to sit and fill with water. Then sit back and watch the birds enjoy their water.
