Hi All! Today I am attempting a diy yard art pitcher with bling. Something like this one at The Navage Patch, except without lights. I am just going to use crystals that will sparkle in the sun light. Supply list near bottom of the post.
Wish that I had a larger pitcher, but being the tight wad that I am this is what I came up with, and I already had the crystals.
Diy Yard Art Pitcher with Bling
I started out separating the crystals and restringing them on long pieces of fishing line in different lengths.
I tried running the line up the pitcher spout but hit a block. Guess this pitcher was just for looks, not functional. No problem I will just have to improvise by drilling a hole underneath the spout.
Next, I ran the loose ends of the fishing line in through the sprinkle holes of the pitcher’s spout and out through the larger pre-drilled hole, gathering all the ends to tie a knot.
Actually, several knots to form one large knot with all the ends together.
Then using my pliers to push the large knot into the pre-drilled hole.
Now the crystal lines all hang at different lengths.
That’s it! Now off to find a place in one of the flowerbeds to hang my new diy yard art pitcher with bling.

Awww Linda, doesn’t that look just beautiful. Making yard art is always so much fun and it does add so much character to the garden too. Now I need to find me a old watering can somewhere. I have the perfect spot in our garden for something like this
