Make Your Own Garden Art Flowers
There are so many ways to make decorative garden art flowers. I am a flower fanatic and I’m gradually working my way through my very long list of favorites to make a garden art version of each one.
Keep your eyes open for materials in thrift shops and on the curb on trash collection day.
Here’s the supplies I watch for:
- Car hubcaps
- Old plates and dishes
- Kitchen utensils
- Wire baskets
- Serving trays
- Drawer pulls
- Small vases
- Salt and pepper shakers
- Metal sheeting
- Softballs
- Nails
- Stove elements / heating coils
- Cake pans
- Metal pipes
- Wood posts
My favorite adhesive for outdoor projects is GE Silicone II. You can see it here on Amazon.com and read more about how it works here.
There are free tutorials for all the projects shown here.
