Many
of you know that my friend Jen has posted here several times. She doesn't
have a blog of her own, so I showoff her creativity for her. The first thing she posted was her headboard
garden bench, second was her repurposed
candle holder, then her super
easy pillows, and finally she and her husband “helped” with my headboard
bench. As I have previously stated Jen takes photographs and makes her own
greeting cards thus "Sunshine Greetings" on the pictures. Jen and I went "thrifting" and she came home with this:
Supplies:
Chipped Enamel Tin Basin (this one is 15" in diameter)
Tall Glass Vase (this one is 16" tall)
Sea Shells
Stepping Stone
Water
Fingernail Polish
Bleach
Directions:
1. Thoroughly clean the basin, shells, and vase.
2. Paint any chipped enamel with matching nail
polish and allow polish to dry.
3. Arrange seashells in vase that will become
the neck of the birdbath.
4. Fill vase with water and add a ¼ cup bleach
to prevent algae.
5. Place a stepping stone in a flat area of your
garden.
6. Set the vase filled with bleach water and
shells onto center of stepping stone.
7. Place center of basin over the top of the
vase.
8. Fill basin with water.
9. Wait for the birds to come for a refreshing
drink or to take a bath.
10.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteDear Toqua,
Nice complimentary blog but you forgot to say that the seashells were yours and you're the sounding board for my unusual ideas - LOL.
Glad to be show cased, though instructions were just my way of saying thanks for helping me with the finds and to share the success of a good day of "finding".
With lots of smiles and love, :)-Jen
