Pink Garden Hose


I get questions all the time about where I purchased the pink garden hose you see me use in my vignettes.    I ordered it from Amazon several years ago and they have not restocked them.   I've combed the internet trying to find one for you guys ....with no luck    SO,    I decided to try my hand at making one!  

I am very pleased with how it turned out.    


I think garden pieces are just as pretty when used inside as they are when used in the garden


I've used the hose I got from Amazon many times as a container for a floral design to put on my dinning table.    I decided to see if it would work on a side table in the family room.   .....and I like it there as well.








I took lots of photo's as I constructed my pink hose........





I found that short sprays of paint worked the best..... if you apply it too heavy at a time the paint tends to run.     If it does run,   you can easily sand the drips once the paint has dried.


I took more photo's for you as I created a floral design in my pink hose.




There are lots of old garden hoses in my junk pile.....what color should I paint the next one.......lol!

  6. Penny YOU are so clever...I can see the hose as container and a hand trowel stuck into a foam block then a floral arrangement with moss covering the foam block. You could use those vintage gardening tools in it too. Thank you for sharing with all your friends here...it gets our creative juices flowing!
    Blessings!
