Just like most DIY lists I make, these are fun and easy to do. Some may require complicated steps but trust me, the DIY birdbaths that you end up making will be incredibly adorable. Let's get crafting, shall we?

2 Wreath

Wreath How cool is this DIY birdbath? Making this is super easy. You simply hang the grapevine wreath using rope and then add a terracotta saucer inside the wreath. The faux leaves are optional but I think they look very cute. You can design yours using artificial flowers, too.

3 Candle Stick + Enamel Lid

Candle Stick + Enamel Lid Don't you just love craft projects using repurposed materials? This** DIY birdbath**, for instance, is made of a candlestick and an enamel pot lid. Gail did not glue the lid to the candlestick since the water helps to hold it in place. In other words: this is one easy craft project.

4 Bowl + Pipe

Bowl + Pipe Find a pretty bowl or platter at the thrift store, glue a cast iron flange to the bottom and then screw to an iron pipe. Easy! A note from Rhyah: If your bowl is particularly deep, make sure to only put a small amount of water in the bottom so the birds can stand up in it. They won't bathe if they can't touch the bottom.
