Repurpose a Bubble Window?

I have an old door with this neat bubble window in it. The door is warped but the window is so neat! I'm in a mobile home and don't really have a place for the window. Does anyone have any ideas for reusing or repurposing the window?

    I would suggest a small terrarium. It is very cool looking!

    Hey Cat! You could use the bubble window in a wooden fence, to make a viewing spot for your dogs, kids, or other curious beings.

      I bought a "Fence peek" bubble, but unfortunately the dogs behind our fence are very aggressive, despite them being 1/2 the size of my German Shepherds. Unfortunately their dogs keep pushing the fence planks into my yard and it's just a matter of time before the inevitable happens. So on that note... If you use it as a pet window... make sure the planking is on your side. Beauty side out = your dogs possibly pushing out planks. Beauty side in = other dogs entering your yard.

    I'm thinking of turning it into a bird bath. Best of luck.

    I don't have a fence around my property so a viewing spot, although a cool idea, doesn't work for me. I like the idea of a terraniam but I don't have space indoors. Thanks for the ideas so far.

    It would make a cool aquarium.

    Screw so eye bolts on each end and use a chain to hang as a large bird feeder.

    Oooo! Great Idea!

    Well, here's the bubble window in my tiny garden. I had an old chrome pipe that I dug into the ground. I filled the window with water and balanced it on the pipe. It's very heavy with the water so doubtful that a few birds can knock it off by perching on the edge. I love the way it looks and I hope that the birds do too!


    Thanks for the ideas everyone!

    If you have a dog, a fence, and friendly neighbours you could create a doggie "porthole".
