  • Stone leftover from another project and three galvanized trash can lids become a bird bath grouping! Another of my "use what you have" ventures! More pictures and directions at http://ourfairfieldhomeandgarden.com 3
  • Start by building a base. Add one level at a time while keeping it fairly level. This takes a few tries to keep it level and sturdy. 1
  • When the stacked stone is the height desired, add the galvanized lid. One down and two more to go!
  • The lids I had were different sizes so I made the bases larger or smaller to fit the lid. Also vary the heights to add interest.
  • Here's the tallest one filled and ready for customers!
  • Save out some stone to put in the top of each lid as a landing place for birds, to keep the lid in place if a larger bird or squirrel comes calling and for looks!

  • The headboard is positioned higher than when I originally had it simply propped behind the bed.
  • Hubby Richard created brackets from an L-bracket to attach the trellises to a 1x6, which was then screwed into the wall studs.
  • Richard's concoction for securing the top of the trellises to the wall. 3/8" pvc cut to same depth as the 1x6.

Hanging My Garden Trellis Headboard

Remember the garden trellis headboard I posted on here early last year? Well, we finally got around to attaching it to the wall. No more clattering in the night. This was a MacGyver episode if I ever saw one. My hubby, my hero. :)
