Discovered your site today from another site as a suggestion from someone looking for an idea for old vases. I’m so glad I clicked in! I have made birdbaths from flower pots & the big “saucers” for under the large but I love this idea! I know right where to get some supplies- Mom’s attic! I’ll be hunting tag sales & flea markets all summer for more because I want to make a few as gifts for my gardening friends

In reply to janice Jones. Oh sounds wonderful! & especially that the birds are 'loving' it! I also can watch from my desk/computer space ... so happy to hear that you feed the birds & they provide you such joy! ~~Jeanne (in Iowa)

Twice I have made my own bird bath with old lamp base,,, my favorite was an old filigre’ white chinese lamp base, with a white dish on top,, the second one is a big lamp base, purchased at the Goodwill store, and a big flat dish, with a large dish with walls in Turquois ceramic dish in center for the most part of the water. I love it,, the birds bathe in it and drink from it. i also had some left over chicken grain feed, so i toss out a cup a day to “my” birds!!! Now Blue j’s , dove family,and many many Chickadee’s come each day,, i watch them from my desk/computer and grow sun flower’s for them also. When the big giant Sunflowers die off, I use the tall stalks , make “wooden popsicle sticks to make a big flower, paint these,in brite colors and attach them to the old Sun flower stalks,,, my yard sings! jan the Artist in Ca.

In reply to Jeanne Sammons. I believe your ashtray may have come from Blenko Glass in West Virginia. I have one just like it in amber color that I bought in the late 60s or early 70s. :)

Thanks, Amy … I made another one with these same vases but since I didn’t have another heavy duty ashtray find, I found a round green ‘snack tray’ platewhich had the indentation for a cup … so I glued a little bird on that spot … it was a gift for a friend’s b’day. Had fun doing it!

Cute, oh my what a neat job, and you can find those vases all over, the ash tray may be a harder find. But what a creative imagination, you have..
