Show off your beach treasures in an easy to make display side table using a bird bath.
Here is an imaginative way to showcase your seashell collection -transforming a bird bath into a stunning display table!
Bird baths provide a great space to display beach treasures. They're heavy, sturdy and stable. And this is how easy it is to make them: Have a thick glass cut to size and attach clear rubber adhesive bumpers, and you have a table top. Bird bath table featured here.
Fill in a layer of sand first, then arrange the shells and other sea treasures on top to create a beach scene. The glass top can be made a tight fit or overlap, depending on your taste. Picture bottom right, via My Desert Cottage. Original source unknown for the other images.

It's easy to turn a bird bath into a shell display table. Simply fill the bird bath with your favorite seashells inside the basin of the bird bath, then cover with glass. This not only protects your shells but also creates an elegant surface.
This DIY project not only highlights your shells beautifully but also repurposes an outdoor item for indoor charm. Of course, you could have this bird bath table on your porch too!
