Oh!! Beckie, I knew I had another question. One of the girls mentioned Art Deco Paint Pens. She used them when making her graffiti (polka dot) glassware & jars. So this comes in a bottle as well as pen form? Also it seems like I remember she put hers in the oven at like 250-ish degrees so the paint would cure. Yours doesn't have to go in the oven and once dry it holds up outside?? -
Are they on a post of some kind? Did you just glue them on it as well? -
Very Pretty! :Love the clear glass!! -
I did not bake mine. I haven;t had a problem in the past with the paints not staying. I know my friend who helped me with mine has had hers in her yard for years. -
these are so pretty. Thank you for sharing. -
Thanks for sharing your amazing talent w/ us. I can see some of the plates in a garden, but also a couple stacked on a hall table or something like that - gorgoeus job! -
What kind of glue did you use? -

I absolutely love these, and i keep saying to myself.."self....you can do this, this is so cool!" But myself is lethargic lately..maybe this winter. -
HAHA...you totally can. Don't paint em if you don't want to. just start with some pretty thrifty plates.
-
Gorgeous...I love this idea and may have to try one myself!! -
This is so beautiful. And I love the info on how to glue the back and rod to it. thanks.

-
Just lovely! -
I haven't read all the comments but I am experiencing problems with frosted glass plates used in my flowers. It only occurs on frosted glass which is they are cracking during the NJ winter. I am assuming it is cause by the processed used in making the glass frosted. Have you experienced this? -
Beckie @ Infarrantly Creative please check out my plate flowers. I did after photos paint the clear glass one blue as you did. I am not totally happy as I said in my post, so any ideas/ suggestions would be welcome. AND how HIGH do you have them set?
-
could you use disposable plastic? -
CHERYL ELLIS I wouldn't recommend it unless you find some sort of plastic outdoor adhesive. I guess you can always try but I can't guarantee results.
-
What is disposable plastic? Every day I learn something new on here, or find I DON'T know something! ha! Beckie @ Infarrantly Creative I still love looking at yours, you were the foremost inspiration, tho Miriam I can tell you , I am any kind of glass lover. But yours are stunning; I hope mine look as good when I grow up! ♥

Beckie @ Infarrantly Creative How HIGH are the flowers from the ground? I also tilted mine up a little, and as high as they are, you don't get the full effect, so next ones will be straight on. unless they are very short, which then would need to be tilted. I AM SO ANXIOUS TO DO MORE, but I will have to wait a couple of weeks, however I will be on the look out for some neato dishes and candle holders in the meantime!

You can use clear Liquid Nails as the adhesive. I have also used hockey pucks as a backing for the plates. I drill a 1/2-inch hole in the side of the hockey puck, then place rebar in the hole. Plastic Target plates also make good outdoor flowers. I just wait until the current trendy patterns or colors are on sale, and add them to my stash. Come inclement weather, I get out my collection and mix 'n match. -
I had a couple of leftover sheets of 1/2' and 1-inch backsplash tiles and used those as decorative elements instead of craft marbles. You could also just buy a sheet of them at the hardware store if you plan to make lots of these as gifts.
