Thank you! ♥ Lol...

You’re fortunate to have been able to find each piece in the same or coordinated color

[@MyLittleSliceofParadise]

Yes it takes time to find all the right pieces to pull it together : )

[@tinamarietimney7978]

Really like the colors of this Bird 🐦Bath!

[@jacquelyndevitte4992]

This is so pretty. At first I thought, what is the wind blows it over. Then I realized as I was watching you put all those pieces together that or must be a little heavy. I can wait to make one. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@MyLittleSliceofParadise]

Thank you so much! Yes it's heavy, with the weight heavier on the bottom. So far it's held up well : ) ♥

[@lcloverviewman5755]

Beautiful birdbath. The most challenging part of your construction, in my opinion, is drilling holes through the glass plate. I so wish you had filmed that part! Otherwise a great video. Oh, your background scenery is so beautiful that I found myself looking more at that pond than at your project! Thanks for your effort.

[@MyLittleSliceofParadise]

Thank you! Yes I will have to video the drilling of the holes. Some glass is harder to drill through than others! Plates are easy, it's the lead glass or decorative glass that takes time..

[@briandotson8028]

@@MyLittleSliceofParadise Well, finished the first and made two more! I also had the idea of instead of a birdbath, to make decorative totems for my garden. I made several of these as well. Only problem I had in the beginning was the E6000 taking a long time to harden and I did loose some vases and decorative spheres because it toppled over, but the solution I found was to use a little hot glue to hold everything in place until the E6000 dries.

[@MyLittleSliceofParadise]

@@briandotson8028 I learned the same, I give the glue a couple of days before I put them outside! Would love to see photos of your birdbaths & totems.

Got my coffee and waiting on the kids to get ready for school and this is where I binge-watch these videos. So many great ideas! (Edit: There is a product called Acrysol. Comes in a green and white spray can. That stuff will take off the gunk left from labels on glass quite easily. Spray on, wipe off. And a little goes a long way.)
