Keep the birds who visit your backyard happy by assembling bird baths and bird feeders from old—but not valuable—glass bowls, ashtrays, vases and plates.

We have seen birdbaths like this one, pinned by Regina Hankins on Hometalk’s Pinterest page, at shows and online. And Antique Week pictured an all-recycled-glassware bird feeder in its Aug. 4, 2014, issue. The birdbath was assembled by Maryland collector Kathy De Haas, who said she tried a lot of different glues before she found one that held glass dependably.
