SNS 149 - bird baths - Funky Junk InteriorsFunky Junk Interiors

Welcome to Saturday Nite Special, the multi themed DIY link party!

* Home Decor / Gardening

* Crafts, / Sewing / Recipes / Printables / Blog tips

* Theme of the week

Every Fri 7pm to Sunday 11 pm Pacific.

Just like much of anything else I prefer, I’m not very much of a traditionalist when it comes to birdbaths. I just like junky things mixed up.

… continued …

Eclectically Vintage

A terra cotta pot filled with water on a cute vintage step ladder becomes the perfect little birdbath anyone can make in a jiffy!

Funky Junk’s garbage can bird bath

You read that right. Flip a (sealed) garbage can lid upside down, fill with water and you’re done.

Funky Junk’s feeder birdbath

This little flower filled wheelbarrow turned ‘bird spa’ resides in the backyard. I think the birdbath is a cow feeder, but maybe don’t quote me on that.

Birdbaths don’t get much easier than that!

Do you have a creative birdbath?

Thanks for hosting Donna! My bird “spa” is not fancy but it sure has been a wildlife magnet and a precious resource during this summer of drought and brutal heat! We’ve enjoyed watching and photographing the wildlife around here 🙂

Donna – thanks for hosting! I was so pleased with myself for getting this post done in time, and when I came back to link up I took a closer look at some of your bird baths. Lo and behold, you are also using a livestock waterer for one! Great minds think alike, right?? 🙂
