Make a Super Easy Planter Birdbath

Birdies will love splashing about in this stylish birdbath. 

You will need: a large pot/ a medium pot/ a large pot tray/ spray paint/ soil/ trowel/ plants or flowers. Note: The size of the pots may vary. The important thing is that the bottom of the medium pot is small enough to leave approximately 6” of soil all around. The top of the medium pot should fit into the bottom of the tray allowing the tray to overhang by about 2 inches. 

Spray paint all of the pieces with the same color according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Allow pieces to dry completely before assembling. 

Fill the pot with soil to about 1 1/2 - 2 inches from the top. 

Place the medium pot as the base of the birdbath. It should go in the very center of the soil leaving about 6” of soil all around. 

Add the tray to the top of the medium pot to use as the birdbath basin. Center it on the top of the medium pot. Most trays have a recessed middle on the bottom which should fit nicely over the rim of the medium pot. 

Add plants or flowers or you choice to the ring of soil around the medium pot. Lightly pack in place with soil and water as needed. 

Fill the basin with water. Use a level, if necessary, and gently press the basin and medium pot into the soil as needed to level the basin. 

This much fun color is bound to bring the birds around. Place your birdbath near a window to get a view of the lovely flowers and perhaps a little splashing.
