How to make bird bath bowl for my existing birdbath stand?

How about making a chicken wire frame work and using hypertufa for a light weight base. See if you can incorporate the sturdy remains of the old one if useable. After pictures please........!

How about covering the existing bowl/bird with a film of concrete. People do it with countertops. Here's a link for someone covering laminate: http://www.lovelyimperfection.com/diy-concrete-countertops-over-laminate-surfaces/ I would think you could use the basic technique to at least hold your bird together, though maybe not replace the crumbled edges of the bowl. Good luck.

I read somewhere to use a large plant plate Use that as a mold and create the birdbath from concrete mix.

Have you looked on Amazon for new bowls or kits to make bird bath bowls? If you can't find it , I've learned it's because you probably weren't specific enough in the wording . Maybe you can find a mold , buy the concrete locally and make one yourself .

I always thought concrete was hard to use-- but now there're many products you could use to attach a new "bath" together.

I would pick up a bag of quik crete without the pebbles and try to craft one to my dimensions. Then (when it's done) stain both pieces to match. If you mess it up you've only invested $10.00....

A digging I shall go. ....

I'd ask a mason, if you know of one. Or a landscaper. Or an experienced person at Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. Or someone who sells birdbaths and other lawn pieces. Maybe they can help. Otherwise, I'd use quick-crete and at least give it a shot. Good luck. Would love to know how it turns out!

All my bird baths have succumbed to the winter weather as well. I'be used various things in place of the bath vessels and stands. None of them are really fancy, but the birds seem to like them just fine. Here are a few pictures of my mismatched birdbaths. One of them is just a terra-cotta saucer that I repaint every 3 years or so with a random metal stand I found in someone's trash. You can see it in the garden and in my basement picture. They second birdbath was just about a total loss so I poured a bottom for the base and purchased a $5.00 glazed bowl. The third one I managed to save the base and painted it to match the pottery saucer I found at a yard sale. Anyway, I hope you find this helpful.

I am on the look out for a half chopped tree. If I can make a dofference with nature. eg. A cage? bird's bath etc ? Any idea ?

We had an early freeze one winter & my top froze, then cracked apart... I went to the garden shop at Home Depot and found a large pot-saucer! It's totally glazed so it's waterproof!

Here's my thrify bird bath, buy old punch bowl and old wine bottle or glass vase from receivied past flowers and a copper or and pole and use E600 glue works great with glass. Hers some picture ideas for you.

I am trying to craft one out of an obsolete TV antenna dish. This could also be hang on a tree branch... we put one up and the robins are frolicking in it. Easy to tip and clean with the garden hose.
