Build your own bird bath

Here are instructions to build this super cute bird bath from The Old Schoolhouse Mag. I'll be making one soon!

Materials:
One or more terra cotta pots. If you are using more than one, use two or three different sizes -12", 14" or 16"
One terra cotta saucer. It should extend over the pots by at least 3"-4"
Paint, several colors of your choosing. (Acrylic paints. Also, patio paints work very well and don't need to be sealed.)
Paint brushes
Stencils (optional)
Paper or plastic to cover your work surface
Clear acrylic spray
Liquid NailsInstructions Wash the pots and saucer and allow them to dry thoroughly.Paint the outside of the saucer and pots and allow to dry completely.If only using one pot for the base, decorate the outside as desired. If using 2 or more pots, place the largest pot upside down on the ground. Next, invert the larger pot on top of the first pot. You can use Liquid Nails to glue one pot to the other, but this is optional. Once the pots are arranged, decorate them with paints and stencils (optional). Use Liquid Nails to adhere the saucer to the last pot. When the paint is dry, spray the pots and saucer with acrylic sealant.

Note: In the bird bath pictured above, pieces of brick were placed between the two pots to add height, rather than using additional pots. Using Liquid Nails, adhere one piece of brick to the bottom pot, adhere a second piece of brick to the first. Then, invert the second pot onto the spacer bricks, glue in place with Liquid Nails.
