Bird Bath from Terra Cotta Flower Pots

OMG How Cool! 

A Bird Bath from Terra Cotta Clay Flower Pots! 


Here are the needed supplies & easy steps: 

(1) Find 3 Terra Cotta Pots - Small, Medium & Large - make sure they stack well! 
(2) Find a Terra Cotta Saucer/Plate (used for the base normally)
(3) Choose a smaller Saucer/Plate if you want to add the additional piece on top (purple in photo)
(4) Use a can of Primer first and prime the pots.
(5) Spray paint colors to your desire (if you know more about various paints, perhaps you could experiment or ask store associate) 
(6) For additional Flair, add decals or get really creative with your painting skills! 
(7) I recommend finding a strong glue designed for glass (ask for assistance at store if you want to keep the top portion (water plate) mounted on better. 

Note - Make sure paint dries before putting pots together. Also, bring in during cold months to extend it's life.
