Sure do! I used oriental bittersweet vines but any overgrown large vines will do. Grab decking screws and a hand saw and then a basin of some type. I used a plant saucer. The birds go mad for it. Note* if you use terra cotta don't use a heater for the winter it will crack the edges!

Keilamarie,
That is great! I can make a variation using cedar and vines. Thanks for posting the photo! rosebush

Here's one I made several years ago from a large terracotta plant saucer and a salvaged piece of terracotta chimney flue.

I did a mosaic compass rose pattern in this one, but I have others where I use plain saucers.

I made one that sets close to the ground on bricks. What I did just cost me 1 bag of cement. I dug a hole in the ground, shaped it to what I kind of liked it to look like (keep in mind a lavatory sink shape) , cut back the top edge (dirt) some so would have a ledge and poured the cement in short stages, shaping/molding it as I went. I let sit in the hole curing for a lttle over a week before diggng it up, didn't reinforce the cement at all and this has been such a favorite with the birds for well over ten years... It goes through the winters just fine and I really like it. Cost me about $3.00 to make. Just remember if you try this, dig deep enough for the cement but leave the bowl only four inches at the deepest, mine is about 2 feet around on top... I used to have a branch in the middle sticking up for birds to perch on but my nieces dog took care of it.. LOL The edge even encourages the hummers to bathe there.

You can see mine in the background alittle.

I bought a piece of what the rockery called "Columbia column" -- columnic basalt. It's about a foot high and a foot wide and has a natural, shallow saucer in the top. I think it cost me $10.

Someday I'd like to have someone drill a hole straight up through it so I can have a bubbler in the basin part of it :)
