Glass Garden Art Flowers

[@carrieannmcleod5219]

Over a dozen years ago, I bought a yard art at an estate sale that was put together with a screw (the plates were all drilled in the center). I looked on KZbin and there were dozens and dozens of tutorials on how to create these garden art. Since I didn't have the means to drill holes, I used E6000 adhesive glue since quite a few of them recommendef it. It's fun to get together with your friends and make a party of it.

Gorgeous, and so practical. Thank you SO much! We live in the Southwest where NM is going through something like a 1,000 yr drought. We just passed July 2023, the hottest month on record. Everything in everyones yard is almost dead. We're all trying to conserve water as a lot of us outside the city have water wells. This project will be perfect for our yard. We're having our yard re-landscaped starting next Spring in 3 to 4 phases (we live on abt 3 acres) with flagstone, stamped concrete, rocks and areas small garden areas that have plants and flowers, and trees that are drought resistant. I'm so excited to see this kind of art as I have plates galore, plus old teapots and teacups with saucers for the birds. I can't thank you ladies enough! Women come up with the best crafts ever!

Beautiful artwork, ladies....I'm going to try this! Thank you for sharing.

[@Gothlite-i1l]

Wow, that flag holder is worth the price of admission! TFS!

[@donnahollins5071]

Beautiful and you are both such fun. I may have to bring these in due to UK winter winds. Or I'll have a smashing time !!

[@threeqtrtime]

This is too cute ladies.. I’m going thrifting tomorrow

[@clairemillette4645]

[@221b-Maker-Street]

What a fabulous idea - thank you!

[@joyceparkes2678]

It’s been a real treat meeting you two ladies. Great project.. my mind is buzzing. Will definitely be making some when I’ve been shopping 🙏🏽

[@debradimico4600]

Great video.

[@annhett]

I’ve been wanting to make these for awhile and i’ve been looking for dishes at garage sales, thrift stores, etc. our park district has a 50 plus club that i recently joined. We do crafts on Tuesday’s. I told the group about this and we’re very excited to make these. I’ve been watching videos on how to make these and your video is by far the best! Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to make these.

[@221b-Maker-Street]

How did it go?

[@annhett]

@@221b-Maker-Street it was awesome and everyone had a great time

[@tonilyday1917]

Yes, that is way cool! What fun! It'll be fun out junkin' looking for those "treasures to be". Thanks for sharing.

[@deborahgross1045]

I've seen these in a magazine long time ago. Also wanted to make some. Going to give it a try. Thank you for this video. Really enjoyed it.

[@NinaHansen2008]

This is a marvelous video! Thank you!

[@cgueldner875]

These turned out so cute! Now I have to find some empty wine bottles!

[@dlebreton7888]

I use dowels that fit in the bottle. Instead of a bottle, I use a clear glass spice bottle.

[@sueknee8813]

Those were gorgeous.

[@Wanda-mp8ot]

This was a wonderful video.

[@Bubbless555]

this is perfect, thank you for the easy tutorial!

[@leejohnson1362]

BEAUTIFUL, great project

[@cybersis85]

That is a great sidekick. Lol.

[@bkitteh6295]

My daddy had a set of those three nesting ashtrays, and I I always thought they were so beautiful. Seeing them again made me think of him immediately. 🚬 I miss him all the time. 💔 Don't smoke everybody! 🚭 It doesn't end well.... ⚰ He was 58. 💔😢

[@sabinawoods5134]

What a team you two make!

[@darlenecerami313]

This is a double wow for me these cost a fortune.....making them is way more fun

[@serendipitymoments4684]

Lovely...I'll have to try making these!

[@normalperson1216]

I am making one but have not finished it. I see them made but just curious that the bottle or flag holder can hold the weight of the dishes?

[@lindacotroneo8537]

Broom handles work too

[@KarenYauney]

Silicone mats would work. Glue will not stick to the silicone 😊

[@christinaheagy4602]

The plates are difficult to see against a dark background. Needs a large sheet of white fabric or paper on the table.

[@carolinej3661]

Yes, I agree. Very hard to see.

[@carolinej3661]

moving right along......5 minutes in and still waiting to see what you actually do.......10 minutes....still waiting.....

[@carolinej3661]

Right Mar? Yup! 27 times.

[@sherrydurham2220]

Bamboo sticks will work too! You may have to select certain ones because some pieces are thinner

[@megatexification]

Henrico, VA?

[@bcc4115]

Another KZbinr uses JB weld clear epoxy for ceramic, glass etc, 5minute set, total set longer of course but I’m going to try it

[@evacox5663]

There is no more quarter dishes at Salvation Army in my city in Calif the plates are 4.99

[@Violet316]

Henrico is close to where we live, Powhatan Co.

[@artangel6302]

What was the name of the adhesive again ? Does E6000 work as well ?

[@221b-Maker-Street]

It says *Loctite Power Grip.*

[@christys8445]

E6000 works well too. I made one 2 years ago and still holding strong. And I leave it out all year long.

[@caroljade007]

I saw people using plumbers elbows on the back of glass and it slips over rebar

[@megatexification]

Will E600 work?

[@christys8445]

Yes. I've used it. 2 years and still going strong.

[@cindyw3614]

On the one with the salad bowl, you have the bottle straight out, how will it sit on the stand?

[@221b-Maker-Street]

It will face upwards towards the sky - instead of outwards like a sunflower or daffodil.

[@cheriemac5023]

The handle has a cutter for tip and apoker to break seal

[@trudiweese5276]

How do they stay on the rebar? We have a lot of wind.

[@HenricoRecParks]

The bottle on the back should sit on the rebar, you may have to test some different size bottles. Hope they hold up in the wind!

[@simmonwashington9001]

Were can I find this drill bit?

[@Yorkhiggins]

Hardware store

[@lizabethrogers9674]

What type of glue you are using

[@elaineolay6925]

Hi Lizabeth. We used a clear silicone caulk rated for outdoor use. Hope you have fun with this!

[@cindyw3614]

Name of the sealant again, and it will hold up in Florida weather?

[@221b-Maker-Street]

It says *Loctite Power Grip.*

[@novamoonarts233]

How long is the rebar ?

[@HenricoRecParks]

You can make it any length! The length of the rebar will be the height of the glass flowers on display.

[@cass77788]

what you failed to show is how do you place these heavy items on a stake...you should have completed the video

[@alirE2904]

A quarter! salvation army charges $4. A Walmart $1 bowl, they sell for $2.

[@rosemeccia9411]

Glue names are important

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Yes, it's clearly visible several times during the video. It's *Loctite Power Grip.*

[@deblipinski3611]

I go to Habitat for Humanity

[@jerrykeenan1848]

OMG!! antique people are going NUTS!! PLEASE buy cheap plates. LOL Thank you!!

[@221b-Maker-Street]

No they aren't! This is cheap pressed glass, and transferware china, made in the hundreds of thousands... An antiques expert would laugh at you if you took any of these pieces for valuation.

[@jerrykeenan3557]

@@221b-Maker-StreetI was was talking to the GENERAL PUBLIC to not buy antique plates, etc to do projects. Calm down

[@221b-Maker-Street]

@@jerrykeenan3557 Any genuine antique plate would be prohibitively expensive for this kind of project - it's clearly intended for cheap thrift shop finds. It also wasn't clear who your comment was directed at. I am perfectly calm - it's your post that's peppered with slightly hysterical exclamation marks and capital letters.

[@jerrykeenan3557]

People purchase antiques All the time at thrift stores

[@margaretmccollum2225]

How do you attach the stick holder? Do you glue it to inside the bottle

[@221b-Maker-Street]

No, it just slides inside the bottle.
