I love the look of copper in the garden-so much so that I have made a few different pieces for my garden and also a rain chain. I like to use copper tubing because it is flexible and I can manipulate it any way that I want. The added bonus is that it is beautiful and elegant. I created this recently from a roll of copper tubing, some concrete and an old nursery pot: DIY copper garden art Here is another piece I made last year: DIY copper garden art Here is a picture of the first one I created a few years ago: DIY copper garden art These pieces of garden art are extremely easy to create-you just need to use your imagination and find your artistic side. In this post I will show you how I created my newest addition to my garden so that you can go out there and create one for your garden. For this project you will need: 1. An old nursery pot (I think this is a 3 gallon size) and a roll of duct tape. 2. A bag of concrete mix-any will do. I use Quikrete. Also a tub to mix the concrete in. 3. A roll of copper tubing (I picked this one up at Menards it is enough for a couple of projects) 4. A pair of tin snips or pipe cutter. 5. A tape measure (optional) Here are the steps to create your garden art: 1. Use the duct tape to cover the holes in the bottom of the nursery pot like this: 2. Roll out the tubing and cut into the length you desire. For mine I cut them into 6 foot lengths. Just a note-I like to work in odd numbers so I cut 5 lengths for this project. 3. Mix up the bag of concrete according to the package directions. 4. Let the concrete sit for a few minutes to hydrate then add to the nursery container. 5. Let the concrete sit for a few minutes then start inserting the copper tubing into the concrete like this: 6. In order to hold the tubing in place I use a nylon tie at the top: 7. Let sit for a week (if you use regular concrete) to cure. 8. After the concrete has cured you can cut the nylon tie: 9. Use your hands to gently bend and guide the tubing-do not bend to sharply. This will cause a crimp. Always bend slowly. Now start on the next one: Just continue to bend each piece to achieve the look you want. Just remember that this is your piece of art-it does not need to be perfect. Almost done: After I had it the way I wanted it I did solder a few of the areas together just to be sure it was sturdy: You will also notice that it started to patina-I did this treatment before I put it in the garden so I wouldn't kill or damage any plants. If you want to keep the copper color you might want to seal it. 10. Cut off the pot. 11. Find a spot in your garden: 12. Dig a hole and plant your piece of art: 12. Sit back and enjoy your own piece of art:-)) DIY copper garden art DIY copper garden art I hope you try this project out-you can create your own original art work that you will love and your neighbors will admire. And of course it was easy! Until next time-Happy Planting! Rhonda
