How do you make a birdbath planter?

What can I do with an old bird bath pedestal?
You can use it as a plant stand or put a round piece of glass on it and use it as a side table. You can also find a hubcap and glue it to your base. I have a hubcap they use to call a "moon" that is solid and it works for me. I call it my "hippy birdbath".
Where should I place a birdbath in my garden?
Siting and maintenance
A shady spot is best as water dries up quickly in the sun. A bath with a 360ยบ view lets birds keep an eye out for predators. Put it close enough to trees or bushes so they can perch and get the all-clear before a dip, but far enough away so that cats can't ambush them while they're busy bathing.

Birds need a dependable supply of fresh, clean water for drinking and bathing. Putting a birdbath in your yard may attract birds that don't eat seeds and wouldn't otherwise come to your feeders. (Other ways to attract birds are to supply a roost box and to provide nest material.)

The bird bath itself can be anything that will hold water such as an old plate or a terra cotta plate that comes with your planters. Use a DIY decorative plate to give it even more style. Just make sure that your wreath is the right size to hold your water basin.
