How to Make a Hanging Birdbath
- 1
Use an old bowl
Make a hanging birdbath with any size bowl for a mold. Pour some quick-set cement into it. How much cement to use is a matter of judgment. Add some water. Again, this is a matter of judgment. The cement must not be runny so start off with a little water at first. - 2
Wait 48 hours
Before making a hanging birdbath, put on rubber gloves. Using hands, mix the water and cement thoroughly. Keep mixing until it starts to set. Pat the cement in the bottom of the bowl. Make sure the bottom is not too thick. As the cement is setting, start pushing some cement up the sides. Do this until the sides are the height you want. - 3
After 48 hours, it's ready for water.
Once the hanging birdbath is formed, set it someplace to cure for 48 hours. - 4
Make sure the hanging planter is sturdy.
When the hanging birdbath has cured completely, place it in the hanging planter and fill with water. - 5
Wait, and the birds will come.
If preferred, the birdbath can be placed in the flower garden on the ground.
