  • Even with no experience in mosaics or tiling, our bird bath face lift turned out just as I had hoped. Now I'm thinking about all the other things I could do...gazing balls, garden stakes, water fountains, etc. The sky's the limit! 6
  • This is what we started with. Our birdbath had taken a tumble shortly after we got it, and stayed in pieces for three years until recently when my husband glued them back together with some clear silicone.
  • After that, I used J-B WaterWeld to seal the  cracks and make it water-tight again. It's my go-to method for repairing things that will be wet or underwater. It's also drinking water safe, so you don't have to worry about its toxicity.

  • My glass stovetop gets these burn stains on it all the time, usually from boiled over water.  Gross.
  • I've used baking soda to clean my stovetop in the past so I thought I'd try using the Arm & Hammer toothpaste instead of making my own paste.  It worked GREAT!
  • Smear the toothpaste on the dirty parts of your stove top and then let it sit for 15 min.
