Make Clay Pot Bird Baths

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

You can create small bird baths to use as decorations, or you can make full size baths that the birds will really use. Bird baths can cost hundreds of dollars in the store; clay pot bird baths cost a fraction of that. I created mine for under $20.00, and you can too!

My Clay Pot Bird Bath
I made my bird bath with a large terra cotta pot and saucer, rub-on decals (available at most craft stores), and a clear acrylic sealing spray. It took very little time and effort to complete this project. The rub-on decals are a great alternative to fancy painting!

Christine's Clay Pot Bird Baths
Christine is the About.com Guide to Birding. Her bird baths are stunning! She used 3 large terra cotta pots and a saucer to make each of her bird baths. One she made by painting and the other was made using shells and grout. Visit Christine's page to get directions and see larger photos:
