DIY Hypertufa Bird Bath

[@alicesmith6750]

You are a true inspiration, a woman who can re-create River rock that would make any river rock jealous, and gives me hope that I may try my hand trying this myself.

[@VennasNature]

oh absolutely you can do this. As you see even I goof and have to work through mistakes and that is how we learn😊 Thank you for viewing and I hope you give it a try😁

[@carmenhansmeier]

I love when mistakes are shown because you learn so much faster!

[@patfox-leonard1279]

What a delightful presenter and lovely project!

@@VennasNature I am in Minnesota. I love to be creative and just like you I get ideas and inspiration from others. For some reason I am hesitant with concrete but would love to try it. I’ve got all the supplies, just trying to work up the courage to break it all out! Thank you for the reply and putting out such great content ❤️

[@VennasNature]

Good morning Brenna😊 Hello from Hot AZ wow I bet you are nice and cool up there😊 My last video I posted of the birdbath. You will see I don't always get it right. No one does. We are all in a constant state of exploration and experimenting😊 Have a great day

[@24JJ821]

Oh wow, that's beautiful.

[@jamesbell491]

Watching from Prince Edward Island Canada. East coast just above Nova Scotia. Watching and being amazed and impressed but haven’t done anything with my new knowledge. Great to see what you’re going to do next.

[@sharonframpton1887]

[@VennasNature]

[@sharonframpton1887]

@@VennasNature Thank you so much Venna! I'll be watching!

[@gisellehayes2065]

Hey I am in Nova Scotia Canada we are patiently waiting for spring I cannot wait to start creating!! I now have a shop I can work in out of the weather lol Thank you for your inspiration!!!

[@liezelhiggins8441]

Hi Venna, thank you so much for the mention. I'm honored and so grateful 🙏. I also have had a number of oopsies over the years and have a pile of them hiding at the back of my house 🤦‍♀️. All part of the process. I loved watching you create and am definitely going to try something like this also!!

[@VennasNature]

Hello Liezel thank you for viewing. Lol I would have had the video out earlier but as you see I had to make another. I think we need to show our oops so others know we will all goof so they will have confidence to try😊

[@tinaperry6960]

I am really new to your channel and I just have to say I really enjoy watching you make the things you do. I am gonna try some. Thank you.

[@VennasNature]

Aw Tina I am glad you found me too. I want to inspire others to create. I am still learning as well and I do have fun.😊

[@lsalmon907]

Hi, I'm watching your replay and I was wondering if the hypertufa can be made in a pourable consistency. Love your work, by the way. I thank you for sharing your artistry and advice.

[@gracie45]

Wow. Haven't seen you for awhile. Great to see you again. Yes indeed stress is stress. Sometimes we extend ourselves too much but sometimes it is fun to have lots of good stress. 🙃🙄😏

[@VennasNature]

Hello Gracie😄 Thank you for your kind comments. I wish I had more time in my days so I could do more videos but alas I still have a real job🤣 What have you been creating lately?

[@cheriemac5023]

What kinda paint did you use to not hurt the birds etc?

[@tmontero8492]

Adorable ideas! You are such a pleasant, creative person. Thank you for sharing. Oh! BTW: what type of paints did you use for the birdbath interior? Greetings from San Francisco bay area!

[@VennasNature]

I used Behr latex house paint then I sealed with rustoleum crystal clear spray paint. Thank you for viewing and your comments and questions. I love seeing what everyone makes. You can find me on Instagram and private message me your pictures 😊

[@liezelhiggins8441]

Just watched this again as I want to start with some hypertufa projects and I noticed that the second base shape is different on the sides. It's more rounded than the first one. What did you do differently?

[@VennasNature]

I just used a different plastic platter for the mold.

[@gwynnmcgee4681]

What did you use as the base of the birdbath? I mean, what did you set it on? By the way, it’s gorgeous! I think the drowning ladybugs and flooded house was gorgeous too!!

[@VennasNature]

Hello Gwyn, 😊 In this video It is sitting on a wagon wheel hub. I actually found a rough Iron plant stand to sit the bird bath on when I sold it😊 Thank you for viewing and your thoughtfulness😊

[@Kak_Anna]

I drowned the lady bug, and the gnome house is flooded.. ahahhaa.. you're so adorable.

[@jennip8585]

I know this video is a year old, but I just wanted to let you know how much I absolutely adore this.... AND YOU❤ 🙋🏽‍♀️ New subscriber now 🧚🏽‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🏾‍♀️🪄✨

[@wendylamb8645]

So does the hypertufa actually hold water?

[@VennasNature]

Hello Wendy. Yes it does if you seal it😊

[@wendylamb8645]

So what do you seal it with that is safe for the birds? Do you seal both sides?

[@Slaphappy-_-]

Do you use a sealer?

[@VennasNature]

Yes I should have said so thank you. You can use marine sealer however I use polycrylic let thar dry then 2 coats of rustolium crystal clear spray paint. Andy, Thank you for viewing and for your question. I will add this information to the discription 😊

your poor husband, he must worry about you Venna

[@rosemariegannabaars1969]

Viel zu viel gesprochen und sich selber gezeigt. Wenn ich so ein Video mache um Anderen was zu zeigen muss ich nicht selber im Mittelpunkt stehen, sondern das Produkt das ich herstelle zeigen.

[@VennasNature]

Thank you Rosemarie for your suggestion. I will take a look at your videos😊

[@VennasNature]

Rosemarie, where will I find your videos?
