No, I didn’t seal it. I believe if you let it cure really well before using, a) it will last longer b) it won’t harm your feathered friends.

Happy DIY’ing!

So happy to hear you were inspired to make your own birdbath! I think all birdbaths get messy really quickly. In the nice weather I try to wash mine out ever couple of days.

Loved your birdbath so much i made one for myself. Thanks for the inspiration. However, my water gunks up quickly…. i used a stainless steal lid and sprayed with kilz spray paint. Thought maybe there’s a trick i dont know about. Thanks.

Was just thinking that a table lamp body might also work. Pinned. Gonna keep my eyes out now for a good base.

Oh my gosh! Laurel! I’ve missed you. I hope you’re well. Your comment made my day/week! I’ve made lots of new friends, so I’m revisiting some older posts. Chances are, one of the 50 comments is probably yours from back in the day.

take care! I’ll catch up with you someday soon–out of town for work–blog conference!

Your birdbath was one of the first blog projects I ever tried, and I used a yard sale hookah pipe to make it. I still love it! Hope you’re having a good summer. I’ll be browsing around your blog catching up this evening and thinking of you!.

Thanks for sharing my project! It still sits in my flower bed all these years later!

I saw you article in Woman’s Day last week and I had posted a question on “Hometalk” using pan lids to upcycle. I shared your post there and directed to your blog.
