How Do You Make Mosaic Bird Bath From Flower Pots?
A homemade birdbath provides a much needed water source to neighborhood birds and allows you to reuse something that you might have thrown away otherwise. Make a homemade mosaic birdbath from old or broken flowerpots. Choose colored or terracotta pots to make the mosaic; the colored pieces will be visually appealing but even plain terracotta can be striking if you work it into an unusual design. Smash one or two old flowerpots, depending on the size, into small pieces. Place the flowerpots in an old pillowcase and throw it against a hard surface. Hit it repeatedly with a hammer to break up all the large pieces. Trace a circle on the parchment paper, in the terra cotta saucer and on the blank side of a paper grocery bag. Cut out the paper circles. Trace a larger circle in the saucer if you don’t want a border. Make a design with the flowerpot shards, leaving ½ inch between each piece. Mix one cup of thinset. Use the grout comb to apply a thin layer to one section of the saucer at a time
