With a few dishes from the thrift store, some silicone, and a few items from the dollar store you can make these easy dish garden flowers.
You’ll need:
Thrift store dishes & candle holders
Silicone
Skewers
Pick how you want your dishes to go together.
Glue them with a glue of your choice – I recommend either silicone or E6000. Let dry completely.
Glue your skewers onto the back of your dishes.
Let dry completely.
Place them in your flower pot or garden.
For larger dish flowers, all you need to do is glue your dishes together and let dry.
On the back I have flattened a spoon and bent it.
I glued the flat part of the spoon to the dish, and put the bend part of the spoon in a pipe in my flower pot.
Place them in a garden or flower pot to enjoy.

This is such a great idea! Mother’s Day is coming!
Thank you so much Michele, and that’s a great idea! I have several more I’m planning to make this summer and can’t wait.
So pretty. I’ll have to watch garage sales this summer or hit up a thrift store. These would be perfect to dress our our gardens. 🙂
Thank you so much Linda, and garage sales and thrift stores are great to find dishes. They are so fun to make and I have more coming this summer 🙂
They’re just adorable!

I love the dish flowers, I am a little confused about glueing the dishes together, do you mean you have two of the same dish and you glue the two of them together or is it just one that you glue with the skewer? thanks os much you are a very talented lady
Julie
Thanks, Julie you are so very sweet. 🙂 I a smaller dish onto a bigger dish, and then I glue them onto the skewer.
