DIY Yard Art from Vintage Silver Pieces

H and I worked on a  new yard art piece to put in the front yard today.     We married a hall tree,   pieces of silver,  and crystals to make our art piece.

On the left side of the above  photo you can see how the black hall tree looked  at Easter before it was loaded down with silver and crystals......

When the yard art piece was completed,  we decided to put it on the right side of the garage door. 

I used fabric to attach most of the silver pieces to the different hangers on the hall tree....

Eyes and a pine cone nose were added to a large silver tray to make an owl    The eyes are layered with  two vintage ceramic ball jar lids,  small tree slice pieces,  and topped with two buttons.    Her nose is a small pine cone.
  If you look close at the bottom of the silver tray,  you can see she is perched on a branch.    After I took this photo,  I decided she needed a flower in her bow,  you can see it in the photo before this one.

A silver bowl was turned into a bird bath.    Crystals, sugar bowls and creamers are hung around  the rim of the bowl.

  I hung a string of crystals from the tea pot spout to look like water being poured out of the pot....( the hanging crystals are  from the bridal section at HL)   

Here is a close up of the crystals.....

 

4 pieces of silver were combined to make a flower......

 

I framed the tea pot with a silver piece that I painted pink.....it's the bottom to a casserole dish.   I see them all the time at yard sales for a dollar because the glass dish has been broken.

We had so much fun making this piece of yard art!
