How to Make a Birdbath

I wanted to make a simple birdbath so I had the idea of using PVC piping. Then I bought a white plastic tray at Joann Fabrics and glued that to the top of the PVC pipe. Wala! Birdbath!!

    Just a reminder, not all flowers are edible! Some flowers that smell lovely, are quite poisonous.
