 To make this you take the lamp shade off and cut off the plug.

You spray paint your chip dip tray.

and when it’s dry you glue it to the top of the lamp with liquid nails or E6000.

Now you have a lam birdbath!! Very simple, inexpensive garden art

As I was setting the lamp in my garden I had a bird land and come in to eat!
  I love when God blesses me that way!!
Also, another gift from God for me this morning.

    Very neat. I made a mini birdbath from an old lamp and an old globe. Thought about using it as a feeder but I figured the squirrels would knock it over.

    Wow! I have a lamp I was looking at earlier, wondering "what can I do to make this thing look any better?!" and now I know! I love the shape of your lamp in the garden. It's so fun! Maybe I'll make a bird bath as I'm already feeding the whole entire neighborhood's worth of birds! :)

    Barb, this is a fabulous idea! I see a lot of lamps each week at the auction that I attend. Thanks to you, I will be looking at them in a whole new way.
