Grape Wreath Bird Bath

I was reading Family Fun magazine and they had a birdbath project in there that was simple and really turned out nice! Check it out..



You'll need: a grapevine wreath - mine is about 18 inches but you could get a smaller one, a ceramic plant saucer that fits in the hole - mine is about 15 inches, and some twine - I bought some 47lb test jute at the craft store that seems to work nicely.

Cut 3 strips of the jute about 5 feet long a piece. Tie them in a knot at the bottom, leaving a little tail. Spread them out evenly and place the wreath in the center. Tie it up where you want it outside - place the saucer in the wreath and fill it with water.

Voila a birdbath!
