There are several ways to make dish flowers. Use the method that works best for you! Thanks for visiting my site and taking the time to comment. Wanna add, too, that I was afraid of drilling plates at one time. Afraid of glass breaking. But once I learned a good technique, some of those fears began to fade. Yes, I have broken some, but you learn quickly which types of plates are suitable for drilling and which are not. A trick I learned from another maker, was to drill in the sink under water. Water is required for the drilling process. And should a plate break, it is contained in the sink for easy clean up. My goal for “Make it a Garden” is to help others have success with dish flowers. Many have given up hope when the glue fails. It’s disappointing when you’ve worked so hard to make one. So I have written several in-depth articles about glue and drilling glass and have included other methods to try even if I don’t personally vouch for them. Sometimes simply switching adhesives is enough for someone to have succeess with their project.

Plus, you need to drill a hole in the pole. And find the right length bolt to hold it all together. For someone doing it as a business, it might make sense, but not really for someone just making one or two.
We plan to make some this summer, so this has been helpful to see one perspective.

I’ve been searching for just the right dishes in every thrift store I’ve come across. I think I now have enough lovely dishes to get started. Thanks for the tutorial!
