Gardening crafts..

Claudine, those mushroom stools make me think of Alice in Wonderland! I can just see the Mad Hatter's tea party taking place with everyone sitting on these. The fence does sort of look like something you might see surrounding a fairy garden, doesn't it?

Maddie I found two things today on Pinterest that I thought you might find interesting. I think the first would work great for people who don't have a lot of space and want to add art to the garden.

The second idea I think could be interesting under the right conditions. You would have to adapt this if you did it on your balcony, but it could be pretty with the light coming through the wood.

Channel thanks, I love the first one... I like those long containers those could add color and height to my plants.. I would like to try that out. I would think of using a waste piece of PVC pipe and decorate it with tiles or glass and put my regular container in.

I found something really lovely: lace decorated flower pots. I think I must look for some pretty lace and do something like this because it would look wonderful in my room. I love lace so much! I also love my roses - so it will be a perfect combination

 

[maddie]

Lace.. in the garden? Maybe on a window sill that isn't as crowded as mine.. All the watering will make it filthy in no time.. It is pretty though!

I know these lace decorations aren't very practical but they're so pretty

Here is what you can do with an old tire:

Here is what you can do with an old tire:

That is an amazing way to recycle. I love the shape.. a great place to grow potatoes or carrots or even beets..

I know, it's interesting. Tires in general are rather ugly but it's good you can make something pretty with them instead of throwing away the used ones. You can also paint them:

That is definitely more interesting than plain old ugly looking tires.
I found a cute little piece of garden craft.. take a look

and another bottle lantern...

 

[maddie]

I found some more stuff that is easy to make and which can add color to your garden... these are made from toilet paper rolls.

These toilet paper rolls are cute, unfortunately my dog would destroy them within seconds. He thinks all toilet paper rolls are his toys
Here is a simple idea - but it looks nice. You can use ladder as a planter:

@Maddie, I think the flower pot lady and the bottle lantern are both very practical ideas. They are cute, and they are made for outdoor use. The colors on the bottle lantern might fade eventually, depending on what you used, but I like the idea of reusing the bottle.

Here's one using nails I saw this morning:

Here's another one I just found I thought you might like. I saw it on Pinterest (of course) and I immediately thought of you. Have you seen this license plate dragon fly before?

 

[claudine]

The dragonfly look so interesting and unique!
This tiny teapot is so cute, I would like to have a few of them in my garden, it's such a romantic decoration:

Awesome thread! I love the gate with the crystals and the bird cages. It would look awesome with a bean or cucumber vines.

I LOVE the teapot! I must have one of those! They are pretty enough with blooming tea, but I love the idea of using one for a terrarium!

Aren't these soda can flowers really cute?
