HANGING GARDEN WINDOWS

These are two different window ideas ..
Hang them from a tree~~ One is painted ferns on glass.. I laid the ferns on then just lightly sprayed them with a cream colored paint..




and the other(no glass) has a rusty picket fence staple gunned on then I just slipped the rusty metal star into the frame..

CHEAP TRICKS~~~
I use G-sale plates and use them for treat plates or sandwiches.. I epoxy'd on the inexpensive glass candle sticks to make little serving plates..
Have a little chip I see(:)
