Beautiful Purple DIY Bird Bath

This beautiful DIY purple bird bath was a big hit on Hometalk! It doesn’t get any easier than creating a stunning bird bath for your patio or garden. Made from a repurposed vase and plate, this charming project is the perfect blend of creativity and simplicity.

I spotted the vase in a corner of a thrift shop, obscured by a variety of other items. As soon as I saw it I fell in the love the shimmering purples, pinks and greens of the mosaic design and immediately knew it would make an ideal stand for a bird bath if it was inverted with the base up. With that thought in mind, I turned my attention to the shelves stacked with dinnerware and serving bowls and there it was – a large purple circular serving plate; the perfect color and size, with a wonderful texture on the underside that looks like water drops. It was simply meant to be!

I applied a glass adhesive available in any hardware or craft store and for under $12.00 including the cost of the glue, I was able to create a unique and colorful  addition to my deck that is both beautiful and functional.

I hadn’t consider how sunlight would reflect through the vase resulting in a spectrum of color patterns – absolutely stunning on those sunny afternoon! I also added a light under the vase so at night, I can enjoy a kaleidoscope of warm color that reflect on the deck.

If you’re looking for a fast and easy project to brighten up your deck or yard, this is a great way to go. Head out to a local thrift store or garage or rummage sale to see what you can find and try your hand at turning something old into something new. The birds and butterflies will thank you!
