This under $30 idea will make your garden look amazing! | garden | This under $30 idea will make your garden look amazing! | By DIY with Hometalk | Grabbed some thrifted glassware for this brilliant garden decor. Then, I grabbed some two-part epoxy. I used a wood screwer to mix the epoxy and placed it around the bottom edge of one glass vase and glued it to the bottom of the glass bowl. I set that aside and let it dry. I applied epoxy to the bottom of a different glass vase and placed the glass platter on top in the center. I grabbed the vase with the bowl and applied epoxy to the top and attached the third vase upside down and applied epoxy to the top of the vase that is attached to the bowl and I place the other section on top and now I have the most gorgeous glass bird bath. This project took minutes and cost under $30. We got some suet here. So, all I did was melt this suet and I did it in the microwave for about three minutes. So, you use about twice as much of the bird mix, the seed mix as you do with the fat. There we go. You can see, I've just mixed that up super simply so I'm just going to fill that up, fill that little tea cup up and I am just going to fill this and take some teaspoons. Gonna put these in here directly opposing the handle. Pull the string through like that. I have hung my little new cute teacups filled with these fat balls for those wild birds to come and feed on in this very snowy, very wintery weather. So I've come back from the thrift store with a few items and now I'm going to clean them up. For this first one, I'm going to be using folk art home decor chalkpeat and I've got a stencil brush here. Dip it into the paint but then I'm going to offload a little bit of it here. So, I'm going to go ahead and just continue around. I'm going to let them dry completely before the next step with these. For this next one, we're going to be using Pledge Floor Care Cleaner. Pour some of the pledge floor cleaner into the glass vase. Whirl the glass carefully so that it's all coated because I'm just going to use some snowy glitter and I'm going to dump a healthy in here. Now, we start swirling all the way around and I let it dry completely. Next, I'm going to use some green glitter. Same process and I'm going to be using folk art enamel paint in the color wicker white. For this last one, I'm going to leave them plain. So, we're going to start with the cup and I'm going to choose to have it go up and upside down. One is super glue and put it on the edge all the way around. You place it on top. So, I'm going to let this one dry and we'll start adhering the other one. I hope this inspires you to take some thrift store items and flip them for your home and yard. While I was at a flea market, I spied these license plates and knew I could do something with them. I wanted to make a flower so I laid the license plate on a piece of white paper and cut it to size. Then, I folded the paper in half and cut out half of a petal for my pattern. Pattern and laid it on the back of the license plate and traced around it with a sharpie. Using a tin snip, I cut it out. I turned up the edges with a plier I also use a small paint can and roll the plate along the cans edge to bend it. The center of the flower, I cut a plate in half and then I cut out a circle. I make cuts into the center of the circle and bend the cuts upward. I drill the hole in the center of the centerpiece and then drilled holes in the ends of each of the petal. I placed the bolt through each of the holes and then using an electrical box cover, I drilled a hole in the center of that and one hole on each side of the center hole. At the the bolt through the center hole and secured everything together with a nut. I threaded a cable tie through this two side holes in the box cover and then placed the plant stake around the bolt and secured it with the cable tie. I did love how it turned out and I was proud of myself for figuring out how to attach pieces together without using a soldering tool.
