Garden Art For The Flowers – Recycled Crafty DIY Ideas
Garden art with function. Create a hanging trellis or bird perch from old metal embroidery hoops. Or, make some plant markers from knitting needles without partners.
Clematis Climbers – Reusing Old Embroidery Hoops
Part Two
So this is sort of a follow-up to my garden art/bird perch post from almost exactly one year ago. Last July, I hung some old embroidery hoops in the garden. I did it for prettiness, but I also thought the birds might like them. I can’t say for sure if they did or if they didn’t, but this handsome purple clematis seems to think they are okay. And he was much easier to catch in the act.
Plant Markers – Repurposing Knitting Needles
Knitting needles that have lost their mates make excellent plant markers. I use these giant needles to mark plants while I am weeding a new bed.
Eventually, I think I will be creating a border from them and other found objects like old screwdrivers, forks and various other odds and ends.
