These are very easy to make
I got the old lampshades
at garage sales
and antique stores
using the following
I screwed the nut all the way
up the screw
then added a plastic washer
on the eye screw
so the nut won't scrape the glass
I then inserted the
eye screw the hole
and used the plastic cap
on the end
I then added
the hanging kit
a viola
it was complete
From one of our readers:
I love the idea, however if your lampshade is too deep,
small birds will actually drown in them,
especially because the glass is so smooth.
A simple and practical fix is to place
some rounded rocks in the
bottom of the fixture so that the
water level is never more than 1"to 2" deep.
And of course,
the rocks are not too slick,
so the birds have a
secure place to stand
and then take flight.
