Or a serving table, or an indoor\/outdoor side table. This piece stands 23 \u00bd” tall from the top of the lip to the floor.<\/p>\n

I still need to apply the polyurethane this afternoon and I\u2019m still thinking about adding the antiquing medium. Time will tell by this afternoon what I decide. Other than that it\u2019s pretty much finished.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in making one for yourself, here are the instructions and a list of Materials you need for this project.<\/p>\n

Materials:<\/p>\n

1 large 18 \u00bc” terra cotta saucer
2 large 12\u201d terra cotta pots
Aleene’s Patio & Garden Outdoor Adhesive
gloss varnish polyurethane
Apple Butter Brown #819 antiquing medium
Acrylic paints \u2013 I used Americana Acrylic Paint (it was on sale yesterday for 77 cents per bottle)
Paint brushes
Sponges – Used these for sponge painting
Paint sponges – I will use this to apply the polyurethane<\/p>\n

Steps:<\/p>\n

(First I took the pots to the tub and gave them all a good rinse and wipe down)<\/p>\n

1. You’ll be assembling the birdbath\/table upside down. Begin by turning the 18 \u00bc” saucer lip side down.<\/p>\n

\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317874624384186818\"<\/a>
2. Glue the 12″ pot upside down on the center of the 18 \u00bc” saucer, lip side down.<\/p>\n

\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317875843481093282\"<\/a>
3. Glue the 12″ pot right side up to the end of the other 12\u201d pot, end to end.<\/p>\n

\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317876313887047890\"<\/a>
4. Allow glue to set for recommended time (I don\u2019t) as I get too impatient to paint.<\/p>\n

5. Give the entire piece an undercoat with the desired paint color you will be using.<\/p>\n

6. Allow to dry 1 hour before adding the final coat<\/p>\n

7. Paint on antiquing medium and wipe off the desired amount<\/p>\n

8. Seal the entire project with high gloss polyurethane<\/p>\n

9. Allow to dry 24 hours<\/p>\n

Tips: If using for a table\/serving tray. Use a doily or napkin on the tray when serving unwrapped cookies or cakes. Enjoy.
