How To Make Garden Treasure Jars

I started making these treasure jars when my kids were little and they wanted to make some garden art of their own. Because the jars remain functional, you can hide little notes and toys ...»
inside. Use them like little time capsules or part of a treasure hunt. And, of course, the covered jars look like pretty jewels in the garden.

1. Cover any used jar (keep the lid) with flat-bottom marbles (also sold as 'florist stones' or 'glass gems'). I use GE Silicone II sealant (clear, waterproof) as an adhesive.

2. Mount the lid on a post or dowel.

3. Attach the jar.

Notes and tiny treasures can be added at any time.

Full instructions, material list, and sources are listed on my blog here: http://www.empressofdirt.net/gardentreasurej...

    "Monkey Lilies" and that on rainy nights, monkeys came out and planted them to bloom in the morning. Of course I believed him, and even looked out the window to try to catch them in the act.... many many years later, when I saw your post, my first thought was "Monkey Lilies"!! thanks for the memories

Staining your concrete patio to look like tile.

I was so pleased with the DIY project on our back patio! I stained the concrete to look like tile. We used painter's tape to create the look of grout lines, and we used a concrete stain from Lowe's to stain the concrete. For a step by step tutorial, just click on the link below.

Some of my Natural Stone Work

travertine. The moose i carved in with a 4" angle grinder and a diamond blade then dyed it with concrete dye. Whats cool about the whole thing you cant see. The mud work that lies beneath it all. Old school work...Not many even do it anymore. They (most builders) all want a blow n go quality thats why i started to focus on my concrete work.
