  • Stone leftover from another project and three galvanized trash can lids become a bird bath grouping! Another of my "use what you have" ventures! More pictures and directions at http://ourfairfieldhomeandgarden.com 3
  • Start by building a base. Add one level at a time while keeping it fairly level. This takes a few tries to keep it level and sturdy. 1
  • When the stacked stone is the height desired, add the galvanized lid. One down and two more to go!
  • The lids I had were different sizes so I made the bases larger or smaller to fit the lid. Also vary the heights to add interest.
  • Here's the tallest one filled and ready for customers!
  • Save out some stone to put in the top of each lid as a landing place for birds, to keep the lid in place if a larger bird or squirrel comes calling and for looks!

Setting the Garden with Plate Flowers

These plate flowers are easy to make and add a lovely touch to my garden. Because they're made of thrifted items they're inexpensive, and every one is unique. http://www.thriftyrebel.com

Old Chandelier Makeover into Garden 'Candelier'

Last week I pulled a rather sad looking chandelier out of my basement, where it has been for about 15 years. It was given to me long before that, but I never hung it anywhere. I decided ...»
that its time for a makeover had finally come, so I gave it a new life as a garden candelier.

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...

The Secret To Making Garden Art Flowers From Dishes

If you want to make garden flowers like these ones, you may want to add one little skill to your bag of tricks - drilling holes in dishes (glass, ceramic, metal). There is a complete ...»
tutorial on the Empress of Dirt site listed below.

Don't be afraid - it's a simple, slow process that takes a gentle touch, and once you know how to do this, you can make all sorts of other garden art projects as well.

It is also possible to make these just using silicone sealant as the adhesive but I prefer drilling holes and using wires to make it last through Canadian winters.

Building a potting bench out of pallets.

For a weekend project my husband and I built this potting bench out of pallets. Such a great way to recycle pallets and also so useful.
