I love beautiful glass. Your large bowl reminds me of turn of the century carnival. The dark iridescence is very rare in newer pieces. Absolutely lovely
Just beautiful! I am unable to get to the stores when I want, but was so inspired that I went "shopping" in my stash of stuff and put something together last night! It's not quite as spectacular as yours, but it's just super cute! I'm waiting to see if it will hold up to my giant Doves before I embellish it a bit more. I'm a pretty new crafter, but your detailed instructions and explanations made me confident that I could DO THIS! Thank you!!!
I would have filled the blue vase with the colored stones from the dollar store to make it heavy so the wind would not blow it over. The wind blows so hard where I live.
I do that and I have also drilled holes in the bottles one and used painted tent stakes to holes them to the ground if I want to keep the clear glass, bc sometimes I will putting solar fairy lights inside them.
I can't wait to make one for my garden. Already I have the top bowl at home that I want to use for mine. Creative juices are pumping. Thank you so much.
Just beautiful. I’m getting ideas for a unique but thrifty bird bath after pricing them. Great ideas. Thank you. Also, great tip on the alcohol for squeaky clean surface.
That is Gorgeous I gave away a large ceramic floor vase a couple years ago . Got tired of just using it for dried flowers . So wish I kept it , I bet a pretty punch bowl would of looked amazing on it .. I know what I'll be watching for - with yard sales just starting lol
Love this method and colors. I need to do something like this. High winds lifted off my stone top and it shattered. I will be going to the thrift stores this week. Yours is Gorgeous. Thanks for the video
Thanks Shelley. To update this is an old video. I had this piece out in my garden year round and it lasted almost two years. It broke when I tried to move it so it was my own fault.
Love that totem. I have made several different inside and outside pieces and given a lot away as gifts. I have made the glass flower plates as well. A tip for your glue, before you put the lid on put some petroleum jelly, Vaseline on the ridges and the lid won't stick. Tfs.
I never use my ceramic bird baths in the winter. The constant freezing at night and thawing during daylight will cause ceramic bird baths to disintegrate much sooner than they should. I use a heated, white, plastic bird birdbath in the winter but I don't fill it up too high because the water on the lip will freeze. I thought the heater had stopped working until realized I was filling it too high. But I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia and people in warmer climates probably don't have to worry about this. I try and look for white bird baths. That makes it much easier to tell if the water is dirty. I keep a tightly wound strainer hung-up near the bird bath and use that to clean very minute debris and birdcrap out of the birdbath between changes of the water. I change the water at least once a day. Some species of birds will crap in the water on a regular basis.
I live where below zero temps are the norm in winter. I have to make all my fountains and bird baths so they can be easily taken apart and stored until spring
I done this several years ago, I used plaster pieces, they staid about 4 years. This last winter caused the bowel to shatter. I used e6000. Yours turned out beautiful.
I use 2-Ton Epoxy by Devcon (found in most hardware stores) to adhere my glass pieces. It's incredibly strong and stands up to the weather. One of the first birdbaths I ever made--about 14 or 15 years ago--I used that exact same blue vase. It really is lovely. And your birdbath is gorgeous!!
WOW that turned out absolutely gorgeous! I was iffy at first on the 2 top pieces both being so dark BUT now I see how iridescent and reflective of the sky the top basin is, and it just pulls in that lower green piece beautifully ❤ Well done!
So glad I came across your post! Final project in your garden looks adorable and good concise directions. Thank you. I’ll be doing like someone said below and consulting my stash of “stuff” before I head to a thrift store lol.
I have to try and do this. Yours is so pretty. There are alot of thrift stores down here in sw Florida to hunt nice pieces of glass. Thanks for taking the time to make and share this with all of us. -- and also -- your little garden is just lovely.
I found a blue cave at the thrift store just like yours and I love cobalt blue, was so happy with my find and found two other vases to glue on, can’t wait to finish and display in flowerbed.
I think these would look nice on a balcony or tiny patio, or even just outside your door. Maybe with a potted plant or a tiny fairy garden in them. I even bring mine indoors sometimes in the winter and use as décor.
It's not true carnival glass. I have been a collector for many years and love carnival glass ever since I saw my grandmother's few pieces. This bowl has a paint finish on the underside that makes it look iridescent. It's beautiful just the same.
Wow! Love that iridescent bowl and how well the other pieces come together. Beautiful bird bath. Well done. A solar pump will keep the water moving and free from mosquitoes larva. Love it! TFS
Love the birdbath! I intend on making one for my backyard. I thought you did an excellent job on this craft idea. I am a new subscriber now and will be enjoying more of your crafting videos! ❤️Thank you so much! Rosemary
WOW! The fact that you could see these pieces working together is a talent in itself!👏👏🥳❤️
Thank you so much!
That is absolutely beautiful! I love how you use the pieces you have found and recycled in a new way. thanks for sharing.
I love this bird bath and I am going to look around at thrift shops and yard sales and make one. I came across your site by accident and glad I did.
Those pieces look really high end. Loveliness!
That blue vase is just totally totally Lovely!!

The saucer dish is just totally Gorgeous!
I love that bowl, too!
What a clever and unique fixture, it got imagination in gear for my own. Thank you.

Stunning. And such clear instructions. Thank you.
I would have filled the blue vase with the colored stones from the dollar store to make it heavy so the wind would not blow it over. The wind blows so hard where I live.
I was thinking the same thing, or maybe sand. I can get a big bag of sand for $5 at a farmer/garden supply store near me
or the White gravel rock might be nice and still cost effective. Stones from the dollar store could add up pretty quick.
I do that and I have also drilled holes in the bottles one and used painted tent stakes to holes them to the ground if I want to keep the clear glass, bc sometimes I will putting solar fairy lights inside them.

I live where below zero temps are the norm in winter. I have to make all my fountains and bird baths so they can be easily taken apart and stored until spring
This is gorgeous. I have been thinking of building a new bird feeder. Off to the SPCA thrift store tomorrow.
I done this several years ago, I used plaster pieces, they staid about 4 years. This last winter caused the bowel to shatter. I used e6000. Yours turned out beautiful.
Ooh LA LA, just seen another way to save $$$$$. Great project!! I will be searching for piece's to make my own.
The iridescent bowl is lovely. A great thrift store find.
Edwin from Costa Rica. Wow looks great !!! Thank you for sharing !!!
Really awesome Debbie!
Thank you for the information I am making a bird bath today. My base is a cast iron pillar candle holder and the top is a beautiful bowl.
Joanne Stanford. That sounds lovely. Be sure to put something with a wide base on the very bottom to prevent it from tipping.
Oh my that is so beautiful purple and blue and a little pink and green I would just love to have that that is awesome💜💙💕💕💕
I use 2-Ton Epoxy by Devcon (found in most hardware stores) to adhere my glass pieces. It's incredibly strong and stands up to the weather.
One of the first birdbaths I ever made--about 14 or 15 years ago--I used that exact same blue vase. It really is lovely. And your birdbath is gorgeous!!

Beautiful idea!

Deb you are so creative.I love it.
Do birds actually use it as a birdbath? Looks beautiful but just wondering about whether they are attracted to it.
I think your pieces of very beautiful and you done a great job may God continue to bless you and your Channel.

Vase not cave...... boy

I think these would look nice on a balcony or tiny patio, or even just outside your door. Maybe with a potted plant or a tiny fairy garden in them. I even bring mine indoors sometimes in the winter and use as décor.
I love that big bowl is like a frosted color.
Work of art!
That bowl is carnival glass!!! That is gorgeous! You got that for under $5 ???wow!

Thank you Linda. I put a solar fountain into the bowl and used it for decor. It's a beautiful piece especially when the plants become mature.
Very nice I’m impressed
