This is my delight and the purpose of this website. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Love lawn and garden ideas, I’m a crafter from the word go.

Good questions: Some people lay pebbles in the bottom of a tea pot so it leaves room for drainage (if used inside). A teapot is great for succulents as they won’t require that much water. If used as garden art, some people stick artificial flowers in it…just for looks. But yes, it is quite easy to drill a drainage hole in the bottom of a ceramic teapot. Not everyone will have the tools or be so inclined. But I drill holes in plates for making dish flowers. And I’ve drilled teapots too. It requires a special tool for a drill. It has a round tip like very rough sandpaper. The process is more like grinding than drilling. It must be done in water so the heat generated by the drill tip doesn’t crack the pot (or the plate for that matter). If you’d like to see how this works, here’s a link to an article I wrote about drilling: https://makeitagarden.com/how-to-drill-a-plate-for-garden-art/.

To each his own. Yes, one can get quite creative with practically anything. But for those who don’t feel like they are very creative, or don’t want to go to a lot of extra trouble or expense, some things can be used just as they are in the garden. And that was the point of this article.

That’s an idea I’m working on. But I think I’ll start out with demonstrations and “make and take”. Something simple like a birdbath. SEE the post I wrote on making a birdbath–(type Bird Bath into the search bar at the top) The birdbath only requires 3 pieces that anyone can find. We’ll see how those go. But in the future, I would like to do a video. I don’t have the proper equipment right now, so that will have to wait. Thanks so much for your input!
