Always wear safety glasses when drilling....thanks so much for the inspiration!!! Just beautiful!!!
This was a great tutorial! Thank you for teaching us how to drill those holes not glassf☺️👍
Thanks for this great video. I love how you explain what you did without being boring, or going on, and on,and on…senselessly. You were concise, informative, and SMART. Thank you again.
Yes, please wear safety glasses! Beautiful flowers yard art😊
That spoon thing is fantastic!
I've Never even thought of such thing, but this os such a great idea. 😊
We've created about 25 glass flowers, and have used silicone for each - we've never had to do any drilling. As long as you choose your glass items carefully (e.g. flat bottoms), you can avoid drilling. We've also used pvc pipe and glass salad dressing bottles and glass pudding cups as "holders" on the bottom of the cup/saucer bird feeders. They seem to be pretty durable so far. I haven't seen the spoon idea before, so I'm definitely adding that to my next batch. I have found all the glass, cups, saucers, bowls at Savers for under $2 each as well. This is such a rewarding project - it is fun to do, and then we get to watch all the bird activity. Thank you!
You could put a square of tape over where you're going to drill also to ensure it doesn't crack. Love the ideas.
Put tape on the back where you are drilling through. Won't chip as much or at all. Tile works this way too.
I am so pleased you posted this. I was never willing to try to drill glass as I knew it was tricky. You made it simple. Thank you so much. Those are beautiful !
Thank you!
Love your no nonsense attitude and pace.
LOL at myself. I was so caught up in what you were sayi g and your completed projects that I didn't even see the drill until you mentioned it. I love these.
You make it look easy! :)
And whenever drilling, wear safety glasses!
So adorable!!! Can't wait to make these!! So many possibilities! Thank you for sharing💖
Ty . I garden well but can't craft, but these are adorable. You have presented this so well that I may actually try to give it a go.
WOW.....I am a crafty....frequent thrift store shopper...I learned so much
from you...muchas gracias....
Really well done.
Presentation.
Delivery.
Instruction.
Great voice!
Thank you for leaving your mistake in the video, made me laugh and I like that you're human!!!
Wish I had seen this 3 years ago when I was cleaning out my mothers house. I kept a lot of personal items, but this would have given me a way to have kept more. I have 5 acres and 1/2 of an acre is garden.
Very well done! Fabulous ideas! You were a great teacher! 😍 Thank you....
Such great information!! I appreciate your knowledge...thanks sooo much!!
I can't wait to try these and make some for my moms fence.
Nice to see something new. Have missed your videos.
love love it what a great idea
I have never had to drill at an angle, also silicone glue helps to keep the glass from moving and a pipe bender also helps for positioning the flower at angles
spoon idea is great! love all of this tyfs
Might want to add that wearing safety glasses should be worn to help prevent shards of glass getting into eyes. If the dish is completely immersed in water while drilling it may not as much of an issue but they way you are doing it increases the risk of shards getting into your eye. (--:>
User the Clear 100% Silicone for outdoors...the one you are using is for indoors...doesn't hold up well in hot weather!
Soooo gorgeous!!
Best tutorial yet! thank you
And funny! Love your videos
Thanks for making this video ! ✌🏻❤
love the new haircut!
Where oh where r your safety glasses???
I am so ready to go to Goodwill!
Great video!!! I have been making glass flowers for about 10 years, but never dared drill through glass. I will practice on an old plate and then take the plunge with the "projects" I have lined up this spring.
Lori what size drillbit do you use for your plate
So cool. I rather like this project a lot
Great ideas !!!
thank you, great instructions
Cute ideas. ❤❤
Great idea! need safety glasses.
amazing! ty!!!
I adore you.
Love the spoon idea!
so cute .....
Beautiful..... have you had any problems with using glue or silicone with glass flowers being top heavy
I have not but it all is dependent on how you secure it in the ground.
Can plates have holes pre drilled in them??
Is that a quarter inch Diamond drill bit?
I go to Habitat for Humanity for my glassware.
Wearing safety glasses might be a good precaution.
YOU SHOULD HAVE USED SAFTY GLASSES MY DEAR, LOL...
What is your name on Pinterest

JB WELD EPOXY BONDS METAL AND GLASS MORE PERMANENTLY. IF YOU USE SILICONE, YOU WILL NEED MARINE SILICONE IN THE ARCTIC LIKE ME. IT KEEPS IT'S BOND DURING THE WINTER.
does anyone have a suggestion for a different glue ? I have used E6000 and clear gorilla glue, they don't hold for long.
I have used white JB weld 2 part epoxy. JB weld is great stuff and it adheres to anything. The one I am using has screw caps on each tube so you can use a small amount and it still stays fresh. You do have to mix equal amounts of the two parts together which is pretty easy. I hope this helps.
What drill bit do I need to drill glass?
I wish you would post the listings you mention. You speak so fast, can’t get the websites down clearly to find them
Lol…I thought you said “eyebrows are on Pinterest”
I like your channel thus subscribe. I am going for the teacup birdfeeder with the spindle. However one thing I would like to make note of and that's Goodwill stores often have rather valuable items that are sold for pennies compared to their worth and that applies to vintage dishes as an example. I once purchase a set of serving spoons for less than ten dollars and they were worth, at that time, 150.00 and today the are even more expensive. I would urge crafters to use dollar store dishes and please, not purchase vintage dishes for outdoor garden art. Just as someone gave such items away not knowing their worth, and someone priced such items for sale, not realizing what the product was, placing beautiful vintage pieces in a garden will destroy them.
Great point. Thanks for sharing that perspective...I find a lot of great things at the dollar store.
Lori Alfred, I must agree! It's amazing some of the items one can buy at the dollar store. Your comment made me realize that includes bird seed. Your are creative. Keep it up! Thank you for responding,
You should wear safety glasses when working with tools.
please add comments to your video to instruct crafters to use safety goggles.
