  • First, prepare "butterfly food" by mixing nine parts water with one part sugar. Depending on the size of your jar, you'll use either a tablespoon or a teaspoon. 16
  • Let the mixture boil until the sugar is dissolved, and then let it fully cool before putting it in the feeder.
  • Using your nail and hammer, punch a small hole in the lid of the jar. You're going to be cutting your sponge and you want your sponge to fit tightly through the hole, so keep it small. You can always make it bigger as necessary. 10
  • Cut your sponge into strings about one inch wide, and then pull it through the hole so there is about a half-inch of sponge sticking out from the top of the lid.
  • Remember, you want the sponge to stick tightly even when it's wet, so you might need to make it larger than you think. 1

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.

  • You can see, in the before photo, the small area that needed attention was surrounded by a walkway and patio. 1
  • Once we were happy with the fit, we placed sand in the bottom to help level it and to fill any of the gaps between the soil and the form. We also made sure the pond was completely level.
  • Moved tubing around to get the right water flow.
  • Backfilled stone wall for plants.
  • Used a couple of different types of stone.

Taking your kitchen island from dated to darling! My kitchen island transformation tutorial.

You can take your island from dated 1990's builder grade cabinetry to a more modern look with a dash of vintage charm, all on a frugal budget! ...»

With the addition of beadboard panels, moldings and fresh paint I transformed this ho-hum and too wide kitchen island from bland to farmhouse fresh! Staircase newel posts were modified for inexpensive legs and Ikea butcher block was stained walnut for an "antique" look. The extra long counter and legs allowed for additional seating on the end of the island and freed up much needed space in front of the refrigerator. Step by step detailed instructions can be found on the blog! ~Heather #ProudestDIY #DIY #MyKitchen
