I have seen some whimsical garden flowers made out of various dishes and fun glass items.
It's easy and simple to do.
Here's how...
Gather old dishes of various shapes and sizes...
You will also need an old silver spoon for the back of each flower. I flattened it out using a hammer since it will be glued to the back of the plate. A great place to get this stuff is garage sales, thrift stores and even your own stash.
I used GE Silicone II window and door exterior caulk instead of glue. Then just glue all the pieces together. After it sets up overnight, glue the spoon on the back because the handle of the spoon will go into the metal tubing that holds the flower.
After all is set up, just paint metal pipe tubing green (I got mine at a garage sale for 35¢) for the stem and hammer them into the ground. Insert the handle of the spoon into the pipe and you now have your whimsical flowers!
