Yard Art With Vintage Glass Dishes

[@diamondlucidity]

E6000 glue is what I use. Glue a few pieces of glass together, press down on them periodically or put some weight on them until next day-then glue on more glass if needed. {I make tall glass birdbaths and garden art totems} If you use E6000 on your screws and gems, put screw in styrofoam, glue gem on, put masking tape over it until it dries. Instead of clay, you can glue a piece of JB weld "SteelStik" onto the glass to put your screws in. That's what I use to put screw hooks to hang my birdfeeders. Just a suggestion that you might find easier. Your yard art turned out very pretty.

[@grammapam2344]

if you use hot glue with your E6000 it dries and helps hold the objects together while the glue seasons over the 72 hours👍

[@diamondlucidity]

@@grammapam2344 Thanks!

[@nancyhopple750]

Yes, they look nicer closer together. They compliment each other better. You sure did a nice job.

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

Thank you so much Nancy!

[@BonnieHayden-p8n]

Thanks for being real. Sometimes these projects are harder or more in-depth than they appear. It's very nice to see that you're showing the reality of how things don't always work perfectly on the first attempt. ❤

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

Thank you so much!

[@suebartlett1069]

Thanks for showing us what we can use. Stuff from our stash, un-used products. They turned out lovely!!

[@ellensoeclectic]

I'm a carpenter, so I have a standard size miter saw/chop saw, but I've never seen a cute little one like you have. I love it.... perfect for small stuff and not so intimidating for those who might be leary. I'm sure it's much lighter too. And, I absolutely love your vintage, thrifted, flower yard art. It looks so spectacular and elegant, and not cheap and trashy. I can't wait to make some for my friends, family and, of course, myself! Thank you! What a great idea!

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

Thanks Ellen, I love my little saw. I thought it was a clever Valentine's Day gift from my husband. One I didn't even know I wanted.

[@joanshute3384]

Hi Becky! Oh they look much better clustered together. I Love them they areso cute. You did a wonderful job on them. Thank you for sharing this with us. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed evening and stay safe my dear and Special Friend. ❤❤❤

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

Thank you so much Joan!

[@LadyCaroline123]

I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I like the cluster and I would even put them closer if you do another bunch.

[@lindawakeland6019]

I put straight edge salt and pepper shakers for the back. You can put putty or clay so your pole won’t break the shaker. These are so pretty. Congrats.

[@helengaliano7086]

The flowers clustered look better! You did a great job on the flowers ! They look amazing ! Enjoy!

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

Thank you so much Helen!

[@blancapacheco7274]

I used to do this art with glass about 30 years ago but I found that drilling and making hole then putting a screw would hold better . Using an eyebolt to be able to attach a rebar ; I’d forgotten how fun that was.

[@gumbogirls]

Grouped together is so much better. They got lost when they were so far apart. Cute project!

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

Thanks Dee, I think so too.

[@carmenwall5220]

Your flowers are so cute. What a great project. I agree that they look better clustered together. It makes more of an impact. I love your flowers.

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

Thanks so much Carmen!

[@laurabeatty7857]

What a fun, creative way to use colored glass. Turned out super cute.

[@ShirleyThorpe]

We have always wanted to make those flowers but I have never seen a vidio showing how to it every step of the Way. Love it. If it was me I would be making a shade garden of ferns and Hosta's in that area.

[@TraditionsByTheSeasons]

Becky, you are so creative that’s why I love your channel. ❤

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

Thank you Liz, coming from you, that means so much to me.

[@carolynbeninate9540]

What a great project, Becky- they all are so pretty!

[@617883]

Beautiful artwork, Becky they definitely look nicer sitting closer together out in the yard 😊

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

I think so too! Now to see if they last in the elements.

[@CarolHale100]

What an awesome project! The thrift store treasure hunt must have been loads of fun. Yes, cluster them :)

[@jau2552]

Remarkable project. Yes agree on cluster formation. Beautiful job.

[@amandacovey7205]

I would leave them where they are. Then get some live green leafy plants to surround the poles. So cute! Good job. They are so cute♥️

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

That's a good idea about the plants. I have tried to attach a piece of cut metal to make a "leaf" because everyone keeps telling me that they need them but I can't get them to attach. I never though about attaching them from the ground like that.

[@janweaver3112]

You did a good presentation, noticed you are the only one with any trees.

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

My neighbors to the left and right of me have the tree line. We’re just one of the few who keep it cleared out as far as shrubbery. The neighbors directly behind me have no trees because the developers believe in clear cutting everything. It’s really destructive and sad to see. (It’s a new addition to our development and owned by different people)

[@MrMrsEllington]

Becky, the glass garden flowers are beautiful!!! Thanks for helping me understand epoxy glue!!! I really like them clustered together best!!❤

[@katherinestobbe5556]

❤ You did an awesome job on each of these flowers…they are all beautiful! And they look lovely in a grouping…they compliment each other as a flower garden! I really enjoyed this video…besides being a great teacher, you are a delightful person to watch…you are down home for real…!!! ❤

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

Thank you so much Katherine!❤️

[@angelanapier4248]

They are so cute and I like them clustered together better

[@itzasunnyday4me]

What a fun project. You gave great instructions. I like them all clustered together....so cute!

[@pinchebruha405]

Ok your work shop is so well organized….I love it 😍 🎉

[@elizabethwhite196]

Yes, the closer the better!As flowers would grow naturally. I did that a couple years ago to fill my boredom during Covid. I also got old windows from our salvage store and did a mosaic stained glass look with the thrifted glassware as well. I made owls and angels…. Pinterest is loaded with fun glass projects!I live in Pennsylvania. Some of those flowers didn’t survive our winter

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

I am hoping that these will last. Right now I am checking on them every day. I am more concerned with the extreme heat here than the cold because we have pretty mild winters.

[@bearg-ma9168]

Love the white iridescent free form bowl. and the free form opaque glass. So pretty!

[@dianajumper1364]

I used salt n pepper shakers...to attach my flowers plates...glue the shaker upside n I used wooden stakes...got my shakers at the Dollar Tree...they have flat sides so it glues on n sticks

[@lianeabeyta4515]

When putting that gorgeous 1st one together ... you could sit the tub of air dry clay on the amber plate to weigh it down while it dries, for a tighter bond. They turned out beautiful. Definitely clustered together . Looking at this an idea popped in my head. Get some cheap plastic pots from the Dollar Tree ... Drill a hole in the center and thread them down the poles to the ground. Then add soil and plant some seasonal color or ferns at the bottom as a flower bed of sorts.

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

that's a great idea. I look forward to having lots of lush flowers and greenery covering my yard. I'm on a mission. 😉

[@nancygold2928]

I like the glass flower, 🌸 the one that part of a lamp fixture the most, the last one, the flower, 🌹💜 closest to the garage door, 🚪. Very cute, ☺️☺️ ideas, 💡😃❤

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

Thanks so much Nancy!

[@bethcombs7708]

I truly enjoyed your video! I think in real life we would definitely be friends! 🤣 We recently moved and downsized, I could just kick myself because I had so many pieces of vintage glass pieces as well as milk glass that I ended up donating. I have to look and see which ones I kept, but I think I donated about 50 or more pieces.😩 I’m definitely going to do this! I just wish I saw this sooner! 🤣 Thanks for sharing!

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

Thank you so much Beth, I think about all the things I donated in the past and it makes me sad. I always loved the 60's 70's style so I would buy things at yard sales and thrift stores but it wasn't until this year that I was able to find a way to add them to my home. Plus with cottage core being a thing a lot of the things that I thought had gone out of style from the 90's are definitely back! 😉

[@elaineelgie8569]

Love new 'flower' garden 😂 Absolutely gorgeous 🌼 Good move to cluster then & placing where there is no grass! Have a great weekend!

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

Thanks so much Elaine!

[@martivasiliades8407]

Yea, a cluster looks great ! Good project !!

[@DeniseSwantek-is8fw]

Hi Becky, You’re Amazing!!! Those flowers are so pretty!You did a wonderful job. If you were to buy these in a specialty store,they would be expensive! God Bless your patience,it paid off! The flowers look lovely clustered together!!!💝💐🌼🌸🌻

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

Thanks so much Denise, now to see if they hold up. I am watching them closely everyday to see if I have any more casualties.

[@missywayt]

What a fun project! They look adorable all gathered together in your glass garden 🌼

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

Thank you Missy!

[@darlenemullins]

I love them. They look so much better clustered together. I didn't like the spaced far away from each other. They're beautiful ❤ You come up with some amazing things. ❤😊

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

Thank you so much Darlene!

[@ziapaige5751]

Good morning!!! First, have you thought about flipping your dryer door? I did mine myself. hubby ended up having to adjust but it was WONDERFUL change!!! What a fun idea making plate flowers.

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

Thanks Zia, I haven't thought about it but it would probably make things easier on me when switching clothes out.

[@sarahcochcroft323]

You did an amazing job! I love them! I think I would like to see them all together!

[@maryannfoster4734]

i love the iridescent flower! great job!

[@lisacrafton7485]

[@AnnEaton-xj6ic]

Your “flowers” turned out super cute!! So creative!! I like them clustered together better also!! Great job Becky!!🥰

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

Thank you so much Ann!

[@carihicks2421]

Becky, I love them! They are so cute! I once bought something similar...it was an owl made with vintage dishes. It had tea cups for the eyes, and a spoon shaped for the beak. I loved it, and I had it in my yard forever. I still have it, but I don't know why I don't have it in the yard anymore. Since you've inspired me, I might just bring it out again! You always amaze me with your creative talents. I don't think there is anything you can't do, lol! Thanks so much for sharing! ❤

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

I think the owls would be right up my alley. Maybe I can look into making them one day. I just want to make sure these hold up first. 🤞🏼

[@lindazelms6741]

They look very nice!

[@Chris71151]

I really like these flowers! You have inspired me. I like them closer together as well. Good job! I’m ready to go thrifting to see what I can find!

[@vivianstidham928]

Hi. The fowers are beautiful ! I think they look better in a cluster! What a wonderful idea. I live in Texas and the heat in the summer is horrible. I'm not sure they could with stand the heat even if they were welded together! 😅 I'm glad all your work paid off. I just love your videos! Vivian from Texas

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

Oh goodness! Try to stay indoors my friend and remember that fall is right around the corner.

[@RamonaStrait]

Love love love how they look all clustered together! I held my breath when your (and my!) favorite fell off the “stem”. Thanks for sharing, and btw, my hubby is envious of David’s shop…😊

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

He has spent a lot of time, money, and efforts in putting his little shop together. I only wish he had it in a cooler area for the summer time. It's so hot facing that direction here in the summer. But he enjoys it so much.

[@GrandmaSandy]

Hi my dear friend thanks so much for a wonderful video. Thanks so much for sharing a wonderful inspirational ideas for the garden. Thanks.

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

Thanks Debbie, be sure to send me pictures when you get around to making them. I can't wait to see them.

[@somebody1196]

Your glass flowers are very pretty. Great projects! Information about your vegetable garden - your peppers will cross pollinate. So move the Jalapenoes further away from our sweet peppers. Otherwise your sweet/bell peppers will be "hot". ~Kathy

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

I moved them as soon as I read your comment. Thank you for telling me. I kind of figured the jalapeños would be hotter being in the same bucket as the ghost pepper but I didn’t realize it would travel over to my bells. Hopefully it’s not too late. 😕

[@tracy_222]

[@cynthiaakacyndsmith6539]

I have made these before. They are fun and I had trouble getting the idea of how to put them in the ground. This is perfect and yes gathered together is way prettier.

[@genehorton8089]

Good job 👏 I like them closer together, also. I follow my little slice of paradise, too. I have made birdbaths and totems. Lots of fun. Cindy in NC

Had forgotten about seeing these on Pinterest awhile back. Now I so want to make some. Yours turned out gorgeous n I do like the cluster of them better than the straight line. Plants are doing great for ya. My momma always seven dusted her garden be something to research about. Have a wonderful weekend.

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

Yes, seven dust is a must. My mom did too. I had been waiting for the rain to stop before I dusted everything it seemed like it was rainging every single day for a while here.

I would personally put them together. They would be a lot more visible. And more like flowers. 🌸

First time watching your program. Very informative as well as entertaining. I personally would like a little more color on my dishes for more interest. The color choices for accompanying pieces would depend on the first plate or dish piece. Also I like the way you rearranged them into more of group statement. Thanks for your ideas and inspiration!

[@WhistleRobinCottage]

🌻WoW, Becky 😍 I love these! ❤ The brown votive cups made great centers for the flowers. Being able to visualize that in the thrift store shows your creative mind. I like the way they look staggered grouped together, perfect. I might try some for my patio garden that I'm planning. I also love the filigree silver ring you're wearing- you really are a 70s soul. Note: The humidity will really affect drying time in the eastern states. I lived in Southeastern Pennsylvania for 20 years. I thought the glue was inferior at first.

[@MyLittleVintageHome]

I am watching them closely every day to see how they hold up. The humidity is already getting bad here and it isn't even June yet. I will keep you all updated on how they hold up.
