I have a lamp without wiring that my daughter in law gave me, I haven't gotten around to buying everything that would make it complete lamp. I'm not going to now, it will be a beautiful bird bath. THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT IDEA!

[@mybloomsource5017]

Our pleasure. Let us know how it turns out.

[@denisebedford4641]

Thank you! I appreciate the careful explanation and "showing us how" to do each step. I'll try this out this week.

[@ShelleeGraham]

Thank you, sir. This is a very creative and cost effective to upcycle the lamps to make a bird feeder, birdbath or side table. Great work here. Cheers!

[@mybloomsource5017]

So nice of you, thank you for your kind comments

[@jackieburnett6881]

Ty for this great video! First time viewer and have subscribed! Your tutorial was excellent! You are very creative! Loved both of these projects

[@michellenason9501]

I have an old brash lamp it's really heavy. I think it'll make a pretty end table. I really want to try this. Your projects all came out great!!

[@10meme11]

Another great creation! I just watched your terracotta pot bird bath video and am making it tomorrow. TFS! 😊

[@mybloomsource5017]

We are so happy that you enjoyed the videos. Please share with us your experience with making your own. We would love to hear about it.

[@marystresing7435]

Awesome ideas

[@AllThingsConsidered333]

This is great thanks so much! I’ve been wanting a tall birdbath for my garden.. I found a 4’ sturdy lamp stand I will use now just gotta get the rest of what is needed to put it together

[@allisonhapke2703]

I've been remaking and rewiring lamps since I was a kid but I never thought of making them anything but lamps! T he's are cool ideas!

[@patriciawalker1787]

Love both of them.

[@spanishhydrangea]

Thank you for these ideas. I have some old items that I can repurpose instead of throwing away or donating.

[@mybloomsource5017]

You are so welcome! Let us know how they turn out.

[@dorothylehman4164]

That would make an awesome little side table for your chair just to set your cup of coffee on and maybe have a book on it.Oh my goodness.That is a cute and inexpensive idea for an old lamp.I gave away some real big Chunky.Wooden lamps with golden eagles on them that I could have taken off and that was made a beautiful side table.I didn't know that that you could use it for something else.But I gave him away anyway.Maybe I can find some method thrift store that I like for a side table

[@debrabowers8652]

Thanks for that, I can't wait to get started!

[@mybloomsource5017]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@lucyhernandez3408]

that good idea ty

[@susielopresti7879]

So clever! Love the gold one 🌞

[@mybloomsource5017]

The gold one is out favorite as well. We just put it out front yard with some glass blue and white stone and a bit of water for the birds and butterflies

[@genieduso7438]

I have used the lamps and placed a yard solar light into the top of it and used them on my back patio on the end stands.

Thank you! 😊

[@lisaovan6024]

I found a beautiful lamp base and a most unusual retro coloured glass bowl (shallow with a slit where the one portion curls under giving a finger loop to grasp the bowl) to make a bird bath/feeder. I'm excited to see the finished product.

Thank you!

[@racheleallison5237]

Been making these for 10 or 12 years. I have been using shallow clear plastic bowls for birdbaths etc. since glass is prone to hail damage. There are so many faux cut glass and crystal look plastic items. These are always lovely. : ) Small lamps make excellent display stands for cupcakes for weddings. or hors d'oeurves etc for parties.

[@mybloomsource5017]

Thanks for sharing. Those are great ideas.

[@barbaracole4314]

I thrufted a tall candle holder and turned into a bird bath.

[@juanitabrooks1811]

Any ideas as to what I can use instead of having to cut wood" for a spacer?? I love these ideas

[@kfitz192]

I painted the inside of small glass jar and used that as a spacer. Worked like a charm and gave it a little more height.

[@juanitabrooks1811]

@@kfitz192 awesome thx

[@hollylc9914]

Anything deep enough to accommodate the bolt size. Some just won't budge without a saw, especially with plaster mould lamps. Bowls, saucers, cups, condiment dishes, votives, caps, tiny boxes, etc. Save all your unused project parts in case you may need them for another.

[@StuckinMO]

Most lamps i work with have enough room to lower the threaded rod the half inch or so to make the rod flush with the top of the lamp. You might use a thin metal bolt or a circle of metal to glue securely to the top of the threaded rod. That’s how I’d do it anyway!

[@StuckinMO]

@@kfitz192great solution!

[@kenfox22]

I like to keep my lamp plugged in while converting. 😂

[@RebeccaWright-lo6vw]

What glue works I tried e6000 and gorilla glue and didn't hold up with weight of the water?

[@nss7230]

I am making one with a candle holder, and one with a vase

[@mybloomsource5017]

Those are great ideas. Let us know how they turn out.

[@1252PFC]

Wouldn't a wooden lamp rot outside when wet?

[@BirdBath1]

1252PFC, look at bird bath

[@mybloomsource5017]

It could. The wooden lamp base in our video is actually plastic. If you use wood and plan on putting outside you could seal it but it would still be exposed to the elements.

[@skylark391]

It doesn't look like it is stable, considering not only birds drink from it,. But squirrels as well.

[@mybloomsource5017]

ours is quite stable.

[@patgordon5757]

Great ideas but I am not a fan of using glass for outdoor accessories. Glass is too easily broken creating a hazard for children and animals.
