Remember this?
It's a glass shade
We recently bought this stand for $13
It is now this
I used dry clear silcone
pliers prisms and rings
I attached a prism to the
bottom loop of the pearl
I squirted silicone glue around the hole
and put the pearl bead down in it to seal
I applied some silcone on the legs
once set where I wanted it
I applied silcone around
both the glass and on the metal arms
I attached prisms to rings and rolled them on the arms
we secured it in the ground with these hooks
From the porch
from the road
shade $10
stand $13
metal hooks $5
Prisms, pearl, jump rings and silcone I had on hand
Total cost $28
The shade I had is huge
and you can get smaller ones
at yard sales for $5
Jo that is an absolutely gorgeous birdbath! I love it.
