After seeing these at a craft show I made some for myself and for gifts. Mine are glass, using ashtrays, candle holders, dessert and candy dishes,
etc.The "stems" are pvc pipe and the "flowers: are glued together in layers with E6000 (the best glue ever made)

great job, they look nice in your garden!

lilylady, are you from Minnesota? Are these a regional craft?

I have to say, my own personal opinion-I think your clear glass ones are so much prettier-I'll bet the cut glass really catches the sunlight and the pretty solar light at night-we have the crackle glass ones too-do you have the color changing light on yours?

Thank you for your kind comment. I bought most of the glass at Salvation Army store so they were very inexpensive to make. I paid 50 cents for most pieces and many of them are beautiful cut glass. If one really was unusual I paid a dollar but no more. My solar lights are the color changing ones.

Gorgeous! I will make some next year!

queenofhearts, yes, I'm from Minnesota, but I think these have been on pinterest and other places for awhile. He just happened to start making them. He sold a lot of them for gardens here and people brought for Christmas presents

Very pretty. I love the idea of recycling plates rather than tossing them out.

Have never seen anything like this, they are beautiful and unique. Great way to earn a little spending money.

Nice idea to reuse your old dish (instead of throwing them at a wedding-eveparty).

you can't get any money for plates that aren't collector items, might just as well have pretties. LOL!

I have purchased similar "flowers" at our local Renaissance Faire. They make lovely gifts for the gardener.

The blue one on the left, stands out to me. This way you can take your flower garden with you, as you camp!
