Recycled Chicken Wire Art

Recycled Chicken Wire Art
Recycled Cupboard into a cool chicken wire art project

A while back I salvaged a couple of cupboard doors, slapped on some paint and set them aside with the intention of using them in a future project. Well, I love roosters and since chicken wire art is so hot right now, I decided to use one of them for a junk art project.

At Christmas time I used one as a Rustic wall art piece to hold fresh cut evergreens with some red wool.

The second cupboard was turned into a mixed media chicken wire art work where I used scrapbook paper, a Rooster wall decal, a daisy chipboard with some old chicken wire.

I just used a home made mod podge mixture to attach the scrapbook background and then stuck the other pieces on. Homemade decoupage is easy, just take a bottle of Elmers glue, squeeze it into another container twice it’s size, add water and shake it up! The chicken wire was stapled on to the back and wrapped around the front.


pop can tabs make great picture hangers

To hang it, I borrowed a trick I saw on Pinterest with an tin can tab. I’ve used this handy picture hanger idea several times now, works like a charm!

Recycled and repurposed items as garden art

Make a bike planter! http://ourfairfieldhomeandgarden.com/diy-project-my-bicycle-planter/
Make a bike planter!

For about a year, I have been admiring those bicycle planters on Pinterest and Hometalk and wanting to make one for our garden. Finding the bike was the hardest part! Then my friend, Renee’, bought a fancy new bike and gave her still usable one to another friend, Suzie. Long story made short: I now had Suzie’s old junker, which was perfect for my project!


This old Huffy did not have any baskets, but I had a wire half basket and a woven basket in my shed. A little white spray paint later, they matched and were ready to go!


Here are the materials you will need:


* An old bike (mine has tires flatter than pancakes, but who cares for this?)


* two baskets (you might need wire to attach them to the bike)


* sphagnum moss or decorative spanish moss


* an assortment of potted plants (I used three each for the front and back baskets ~ 4 annual vincas & 2 sweet potato vines)


* plastic grocery bags to line the baskets


* ribbon for streamers


* a piece of metal fence post or rebar to support the bike


The plants were the only thing I didn’t have on hand, so at three for five dollars, this project was done for just ten dollars! Follow the easy pictured steps to create a bicycle planter of your own! This one is drawing lots of compliments parked in our front garden, and I can switch out the plants to keep this planter colorful and seasonal!


*Note – put the metal rod or fence piece support in first. I didn’t and it was more difficult to hold the planted bike while hammering it in at the end.

Recycle and Repurpose your Thrift Store Finds into Garden Art

Sometimes called stacks or garden totems, you can combine recycled bowls, vases and plates to form a vertical planter for succulents or mosses to make a stunning accent or even a bird bath.


Garden Totems
340Save

How many times have you picked up a beautiful vase or set of dishes in a thrift store or flea market, only to reluctantly put them down and leave them behind because you can’t think of a use for them?


Going back later on, you might find them gone, scooped up by another crafter.


Here’s a unique and fun way to combine all the treasures you find in junque stores, garage sales and yard sales, and repurpose your finds in whimsical garden art.


This is rustic salvage at its finest.


How to make your Thrift Store Totem:


Collect your thrift store finds such as china bowls, dishes and other pottery items; Combine them to see which ones go together, and select several pieces that go well together and in the right colours for your garden.


Using a colour wheel will give you ideas of which colours should blend well together or contrast.


A simple monochromatic scheme works well too – a strict white or off white palette will be stunning in a moon garden, or planted around with herbs in a knot garden.


Cut glass or leaded crystal can give you an eye catching focal point as it glitters in the sun.


Lovely dishes and crystal vases - how to use them?

Once you narrow down your selection, glue the pieces together with any of the following types of glue:


E6000 is a craft glue that is used for many outdoor crafts, and will bond pretty much anything. This glue comes highly recommended by many crafters, so it would be worth a try.


I've used tub and tile caulking, a latex or acrylic product that can be either clear or white when it dries - the clear is my favorite, and make sure it's for exterior use if your garden totem will be kept outside all year.


I like this product as it is slightly rubbery, so the piece has some flexibility once it's cured.


Weldbond is a glue product that claims to 'bond almost anything' - and they're not lying!


I've used this glue for lots of crafts, and the only thing I would have to complain about is that the small bottle doesn't hold enough!


Ideally, it will remain flexible, even when it's cold out.


Here's a short list of my favorite kinds of glue for this project - buy them from Amazon here;

I've heard so much about E6000 Craft Adhesive that I absolutely have to try it. Although I haven't trialed it, other reputable crafters have, and given it the green light, so I've added it to the list.


Get the clear type of Loctite 2 In 1 Seal and Bond Clear Tub/Tile Sealant which is pretty much invisible once it's cured, and it's sturdy enough for all weather use.


Although I haven't tried it yet, Amazing GOOP 160012 Automotive Adhesive is on my list to test.


You may find your own favorite type of adhesive - share it in the comments below and I'll add it to the list.


As I've mentioned above, Weldbond 8-50420 Universal Adhesive, 14.2 fl. oz. is another favorite - you can buy this in smaller bottles, like with this link, or in gallon size - that's for the serious crafter!

All of these types of adhesives will dry out if they aren't kept in an airtight bottle, so make sure you put the cap back on, and keep them above freezing to prevent them from separating.


Some of these kinds of glue give off vapours while drying, so work in a well ventilated area, and as always, use common sense and a be safety conscious.


Care of your Garden Totem:


Water in the dishes of your garden totem may freeze in the winter and break or crack, so drain each one, or lay the totem down on its side for the colder months.


Indoor storage is another option, or put your totem on a covered porch and fill the dishes with glass balls, pine cones or Christmas ornaments for a seasonal display.


Another great way to use old dishes in your garden in the same vein is to make mushrooms - a fluted vase with an upside down cut glass bowl glued to it - make solar powered lights by including a small light inside.

Recommended Supplies for Garden Art-Making

Recommended Supplies for Garden Art-Making

These are supplies I use over and over again when creating garden art projects.


For tutorials, see these garden art projects.


Recommended basic supplies for garden art-making.
Recommended basic supplies for garden art-making.

Craft and Art Supplies


These are the basic supplies I always have on hand for making decorative items for the garden.


1. Glass Gems / Flat Bottom Marbles


If you’d like an idea of the projects you could make with these flat-bottom marbles, see Glass Gem DIY Craft Ideas.


2. Acrylic Craft Paints

I use acrylic craft paints constantly for various craft projects. The quality these days is very good including the Martha Stewart brand.


3. Acrylic Paint Brushes

Wash and dry your brushes immediately after use! My mom was an artist with a healthy respect for good art supplies (and taking care of what you have). Good brushes can last a lifetime with proper care.


Safety Gear


4. Safety Glasses

Don’t monkey around when using power tools and equipment. Always use safety equipment.


5. Work Apron

A good work apron is a great idea. I do not want to confess the number of times I have wrecked favourite clothes because I was too eager to work on a project instead of covering up first.


6. Paint and Pesticide Respirator

If you paint or spray paint, protect your lungs! A good respirator is a smart investment.


Tools and Supplies


7. 16 gauge wire

I buy this stuff by the roll and use it for all sorts of things including supporting plants on trellis to garden art making. The lower the gauge number, the thicker the wire.


8. Needle Nose Pliers

A good pair of needle nose pliers and wire cutters go hand in hand with my constant use of wire in projects.


9. Work Gloves

Protect your eyes, lungs, clothes, and hands when working. Always try gloves on before buying them. It’s essential to get a good fit so you can handle materials easily and have a good grip. So many work gloves are made for giant man hands = not good!


10. GE Silicone II

This is my first choice adhesive for garden art projects. Make sure you get GE Silicone II for gutters and flashing (clear drying, waterproof). It’s much less expensive to buy it in cartridge form and use a caulking gun than it is to buy handy tubes.



11. Weldbond

This is my second choice as an adhesive but the GE Silicone II in a cartridge is far more economical.


12. Cordless Drill

My first electric drill was quite good and that was a shame because I like to use things up before buying something new! When it finally died, after many years of hard work, I got a good quality cordless drill and it’s so much easier to not have to mess with extension cords. In hindsight, I wish I had purchased two at once because the sale price I got was cheaper for a drill and battery than it is to now buy the battery on its own, so consider this if you’re buying one: it’s great to have a backup battery.


13. Masonary Drill Bit set

There’s really no way around it: you need different types of drill bits for different surfaces: metal, wood, masonary, and ceramics (diamond drill bit).


14. Diamond Drill Bit

This is the key to drilling through items like ceramic plates: diamond drill bits. I have found that some surfaces are fairly easy to drill, others will not budge, so it’s hit and miss when creating garden art flowers. You can see instructions with a short video of how I drill through plates here:
