Here is a watering can I bought at Salvation Army. I used the front door this time, instead of the drive thru. I had no idea what I was going to do with it but I did know it was coming home with me.
I loved the crackled look of it. Do you want to know what I did with it?
This is what I used.
I mosaic'd it (yes, that's a word, I just made it up). Here is a picture just before I grouted it.
I used the border of a bread & butter plate and I cut some pink stained glass for the petals of the flower. I then cut a piece from another plate to use as the center of the flower. I filled in around the petals with some taupe colored stained glass.
Then I grouted it.
I think it looks cute by my front door.
I think it needs to hold something like maybe some branches? But for now, I like it just the way it is.

The watering can is adorable and then you made it even better, the table is great too. I happened to visit one of my favorite flower shops today and they made their watering cans into lights. They cut out the bottom and hung a light inside. I will get a picture if they will let me next time I visit.
ReplyDeleteOMG I {{{HEART}}} that watering can!
