DIY Bird Bath From a Clay Garden Pot
I recently added a sunny flower garden to my house, complete with plants that attract birds, like sunflowers and phlox. I wanted to add a bird bath, but they can be expensive, so I created one of my own by using a large but simple clay pot and a clay pot saucer. I love how my new bird bath came out!

I didn't treat it with anything to waterproof it, but perhaps that might be a good idea. Now that I've had my birdbath for several years, it doesn't seem to hold water as long as it used to. Thanks for your question!

Thank you for your answer I plan on making one or two this spring. They are going to look great in my flower gardens!

Enjoy! I'd love to see how it turns out!
