Bird Bath Planter

Huge success! I absolutely love the way this bird bath turned out. I have yet to see any birds bathing in it, but it looks adorable all the same! It only took a few days to make (and only because of the drying time for the paint). It ended up costing around $40 to make, which is comparable to other bird baths I've seen online (which are not nearly as pretty).

Click to see the original instructions. They're pretty straightforward, but they don't explain what to do with the bowl at the top. I ended up enlisting my dad's help to secure the top pot (so that it stays up straight) and attach the bowl. He drilled a piece of wood and attached it to the inside of the top pot to make sure the rebar held it upright and then we used a silicone glue to glue the bowl to the top. So far so good! We'll see how it holds up when our crazy Miami weather takes it for a spin.
