Take one shampoo bottle and a milk carton

With a shampoo bottle, a few beads and a  milk carton why not make yourself a hanging basket type planter for the garden. I may at some point make a mouth for it... and then again I just might not. The  milk carton heads are a great school project... Fill them with pine cones, dried grass and twigs to make overwintering homes for insects. Leave the lid off so that the insects can crawl in through the bottom and the top and I think I  would probably leave the eyes off as it might frighten insects away. Nail them under an overhanging feature so that the rain doesn't get in... or make him a nice hat.

    1. Thank you. I plan to put some little battery operated candles in the chandelier at some point. I think it would look pretty if it snows. We have lights all around the garden and love to put them on in the winter. My neighbour was chucking the chandelier out.. The crystals are proper glass and not acrylic. I was going to take it apart and use the crystals for necklaces but love it just as it is

    2. That sounds like a great idea, I like lights around the garden, it does make it pretty.

  2. Wow, impressive.
    The cold weather has hit, the temperatures have dropped and we had a hailstorm earlier. We are certainly thankful for our arm and cosy cottage.
