I am insterested in alot of your crafts for garden art

[@gb4468]

Butterflies and Hummingbirds really like the Hosta flowers for food source.

[@barbarasmith3355]

Such a great DIY...l love love love repurposing items and this is a great example

[@darbieluce146]

Love those, so pretty and unique❤️❤️

[@kathyerxleben2628]

I love your garden art. I have made several pieces myself including the butterfly. I use the same glue but after a while my pieces have come apart. I think I will repair what I have and make some more as I have several pieces of glass that I have thrifted over the years. Thank you for showing yours.

[@christys8445]

What did you use for adhesive? I recommend E6000 or silicone epoxy.

[@CuzKatieSaysSo]

Using hot glue along with the E-6000 is a very unique idea. I have to try that.

[@serendipitymoments4684]

You sure did a good job with those pretty pieces of glassware. They look lovely amongst your hostas.

[@63sonotech]

I really enjoyed this video. Both pieces are so nice. The hostas are something else.

[@StaceysStash]

Very pretty pieces!!! Absolutely looooove that seahorse bottle!!!!

[@vetadunning16]

Love your garden art pieces and would love to see how these are put together

[@MyCraftyDen]

I will do a detailed video on how I assemble my pieces soon

[@bettyjones1974]

Love your video very nice hope to see more ideas

[@susanriis8984]

Which one do I like the best? Well it is too hard to chooae! I love them all! They are beautiful in the garden! Love your videos! 🐝🐝🐝

[@julialee8392]

So pretty.. I’ve been collecting glass for awhile .. you motivated me to start

[@ellenfrances1303]

Btw. The pink and roses plates compliment each other beautifully ! I’ve been looking for similar.

[@bari2883]

I would put a solar light into the purple vase and fill the seahorse with coloured water using food colouring.

[@almacasiano]

Beautiful work Debbie love them all

[@KSC587]

Beautiful!

[@SparkiMcSparks]

Gorgeous ideas!!! Thank you!! Also..if you haven't yet replaced your deck, I've heard you can often just flip the boards over and get more time out of the same wood!

[@GardenHappy]

Oh wow. . . I would have never thought of that! Look how clever you are : )

[@Sandy-ot5tc]

Beautiful I always wanted to do flower art I also love your big green plants what was the name of them please

[@MyCraftyDen]

Hi Sandy. Thanks so much for watching. The plants with the very large leaves are Hostas. There are tons of varieties and color variations. They also flower but their leaves are their real beauty.

[@lindaparr6650]

Lovely

[@rh4791]

Has there been any problems with E6000 in extreme Arizona heat or Minnesota winter cold? Will the glue hold up under these conditions?

[@MyCraftyDen]

I deliberately left this piece in the garden thos fall. Right now it is sitting just above the snow and it seems to be holding up. Nothing falling off and we have had quite a few nights of -20 degrees celcius.

[@RuthKline-bb6fp]

Yes I would like that

[@nonstopmom8185]

Funny thing about the hosta flowers - the deer eat ours off. lol

[@lisaworkman4293]

If you stick a solar light into the seahorse bottle it would look very unique!

[@prettypaperz]

Lovely!!! Would love to see an how to video

[@aliannah1356]

I Love that smoking glue gun what kind is it?

[@elizabethjames213]

The garden art is not showing beside the plant its being gobbled up by the hastas

[@fnafplayer6447]

You should have put some led lights to the flower

[@Heidishereandthere]

Should fill the seahorse with tiny shells🤷 It doesn't look complete.

[@sissysimpson792]

yes please

[@Kathy61954]

I made a bunch of these and when the sun hit them - they all filled up with condensation. Ruined them all.

[@MyCraftyDen]

The trick is to make sure the pieces are have no moisture inside. Then seal completely around when you add your adhesive.

[@sissysimpson792]

can you slow the bird bath

[@nexingtoncaldwell6381]

Suggestion. When doing video it is best to either show your process as you are narrating. It is easy to lose your audience when you are speaking directly in the camera without showing your products or process.

[@virginiacollis4580]

Cannot believe people use the depression glass in this manner! It's way to pretty for that. I collect the pink depression glass and would never use it for this purpose. Are u aware of how it all started?

[@wundawuman7476]

I guess to each their own applies to your comment ....I think it's lovely what she does and I am sure your collection is equally as lovely

[@lolal1026]

Perhaps this is a repo of a depression glass, I've seen tons out there in the market & I even have some myself

[@MyCraftyDen]

I used to collect carnival glass so I studied a lot on the value and history. Unfortunately i tried to sell it off and almost had to give it away. Now if I find a beautiful piece I love to make something that I will really enjoy and can share with others. No one looks in my cabinets, lots of people look at my garden.

[@diannenaworensky6698]

@@MyCraftyDen🙂 👍🏻 ✌🏻❤

[@patriciabeckman8573]

Loved all 3 PC's. I suspect the seahorse once held bubble bath or oil. Thinking back to my childhood before everything was plastic. The pink plates are beautiful, and such a creative way to use them. The butterfly was my favorite. I can't put my finger on why, but the minute I saw the plate and your attaching a garden stick I was fascinated! Thank you fir sharing your creative crafty ideas with us. 💕. So inspirational!

[@thelmahall2593]

Wow! Just 3.? Pieces. Lol. You used more than 3. How neat to use kitchen items in your garden.

I love the flower plates. So pretty and fun. Never thought about the butterfly plates! What a great idea. I’m collecting to make glass mushrooms 🍄 for the garden, as well. Love your seahorse bottle .

I made a few glass mushrooms last year and the got overgrown by the hosted lol

[@fnafplayer6447]

The seahorse could have been a really nice fountain with what you're doing, just get the right equipment and maybe even some led lights and boom instant fountain.

[@MyCraftyDen]

That's a really cool idea

[@fnafplayer6447]

@@MyCraftyDen yeah why not try it?

[@linstaley9683]

I live where we have high winds a lot of the time so the glass outside wouldn't work for me but I love your work especially the butterfly. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.🤗

[@MyCraftyDen]

I've moved to New Brunswick and it's really windy here a lot. These pieces end up being pretty heavy so I'm going to give them a try. I'm thinking they'll be a bit sheltered closer to the house

[@linstaley9683]

@@MyCraftyDen I do have a more sheltered area up by my greenhouse I could try. I have so many glass items in my garage that would be nice, I might as well use them for this. This will be fun. Thank you. I love this.🤗

[@janetcall5452]

I've been watching several videos and a lot of crafters like an expoxy glue over e6000 what is your opinion? A lot drill holes in the glass, I really hesitate doing it that way, (I don't trust myself!) so using glue appeals to me more. Thanks! 😊

[@MyCraftyDen]

I made my first pieces in 2018 and used E6000. Those pieces have stayed outside since. Except for a few pieces that got knocked over and broke, I still have them. I moved a few pieces with me to New Brunswick in 2020 and the glue is still strong on those ones. I found first tube of E6000 at Canadian Tire and a mechanic said it was used to hold pieces onto the exterior of cars. Living in Canada that was all the endorsement I needed.

[@stephanieventura1470]

Love

[@kathywiseman7944]

Did the ceramic plate stay together? I know with glass it can be left out in the winter but almost everything that was ceramic the glaze came away from the rest of the dish.

[@MyCraftyDen]

Yes. This piece is still together and has been outside since I made it

Exactly what kind of adhesive do you use and will it be sustainable outdoors in any weather or temperature? I appreciate your kind reply and thank you for your inspirations.

[@MyCraftyDen]

Brigitte Brown. I use E600. I buy mine in the automotive department of the hardware store. I have left pieces on the garden year round and we get extremely hot and cold. Also a ton of snow. I haven't had any separations yet.

[@brigittebrown1924]

@@MyCraftyDen Much gratitude for sharing your knowledge. Is this stronger than Gorilla Glue? I want to make sure the bottles will carry the heavy flowers...

[@christys8445]

@@brigittebrown1924 Yes. Use E6000 or a silicone epoxy. Gorilla glue will not stand up to outside weather in time.
