An old metal bowl gets a new life in the garden.

by Tammy@Deja Vue Designs

This old metal beat up bowl has been hanging about the garden for some time. I've had this in mind...but I'm just getting around to it. By beating out the dents and painting up this bowl. I found an old chair leg and the two became my cute little toadstool for the garden...or a flowerpot.

Really neat! I found two metal bowls at Goodwill. One was $2.99 the other was $399. Worth it to make something this cute!
