They look especially nice when combined with a dry stream bed. But the upscale metal ones you always see on on-line garden sites or summer craft shows come with a price tag.  Although I could afford one, you need more than one to achieve the effect.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thrifty yard art <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One day while shopping at my favorite local thrift store, I found some clear plastic platters in the shape of fish. Four of them to be exact. Four for two dollars! I&#8217;m thinking hmmmmm&#8230;.. the gears are turning, the creative juices start flowing and suddenly I&#8217;m wondering how I could make these little plates work as garden art? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s what I came up with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AGE LEVEL: This thrifty yard art project is EASY for anyone in any age group. Kids to seniors. The hardest part will be getting the caps off the spray paint!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>MATERIALS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-list\"><li>Fish Platters, 3-4 (the clear plastic kind)<\/li><li>Spray paint, several colors                                                                                                                           (or just gray\/silver for a more natural looking fish)<\/li><li>Black Paint marker\/medium (OPTIONAL) &amp; small bottle of craft paint (OPTIONAL)<\/li><li>Garden stakes (aluminum, the skinny ones)<\/li><li>Attachment piece (Flair Nut, OR something that fits diameter of stake)<\/li><li>Any Exterior Adhesive (I used GE 100% silicone)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Directions <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/makeitagarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Fish-6.png\" alt=\"thrifty yard art. a clear plastic fish shaped plate from the thrift store\" class=\"wp-image-7332\" width=\"310\" height=\"260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/makeitagarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Fish-6.png 940w, https:\/\/makeitagarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Fish-6-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/makeitagarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Fish-6-768x644.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>STEP 1:<\/strong> Wash the plates well in hot soapy water. Make sure all the gummy residue from the price tag comes off.  Your paint job will look so much better. Anything greasy or grimy or gooey will take away from the beauty of the finished product, and the paint won&#8217;t stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>STEP 2: <\/strong>Choose your spray paint colors and set up a table outside if possible. (or garage). I made a little project table from a half-sheet of 1\/4&#8243; plywood set on 5 gallon buckets. Then, I used an old shower curtain to cover the board as I didn&#8217;t want to get paint on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Place a small block of wood under the fish plate to lift it up off the table surface before applying paint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Optional: <\/strong>I chose to cover the side fins on my fish with painters tape so I could paint them separate later on with a craft paint to make them stand out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>STEP 3: <\/strong>Only Paint ONE SIDE of the fish plate. Why? Two reasons:                                                          1) Because the plate is clear plastic and the color fully comes thru on the backside.                                              2) Another reason <em>not<\/em> to paint the backside is so that the sunlight shines through it, which gives the painted side a wonderfully lustrous sheen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/makeitagarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fish.png\" alt=\"plastic fish spray-painted with silver metallic paint &quot;swims&quot; through tall grass\" class=\"wp-image-7762\" width=\"367\" height=\"308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/makeitagarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fish.png 940w, https:\/\/makeitagarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fish-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/makeitagarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fish-768x644.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 367px) 100vw, 367px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#ffdf88\"><strong>COLOR IDEAS: Use your imagination! I painted mine to look like gold fish. My front yard has a lot of tall green grass and I wanted these to really stand out, so I used bold colors. If you prefer a more natural looking fish, OR one with a metal appearance, use gray or silver (or both)<\/strong>. <strong>You may wish to experiment with over lapping the spray paint (allowing some &#8216;overspray&#8217;)&#8211;as I did.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TIP:<\/strong> this may be a good way to use up some left over spray paint out in the garage. You won&#8217;t need a whole lot anyway. See if you can use what you have on hand before buying anything.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/makeitagarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Fish-1.png\" alt=\"thrifty yard art plastic fish plates in the process of being spray-painted\" class=\"wp-image-7327\" width=\"433\" height=\"362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/makeitagarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Fish-1.png 940w, https:\/\/makeitagarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Fish-1-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/makeitagarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Fish-1-768x644.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 433px) 100vw, 433px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/makeitagarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Fish-2.png\" alt=\"thrifty yard art plastic fish plates spray painted drying in the sun\" class=\"wp-image-7328\" width=\"421\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/makeitagarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Fish-2.png 940w, https:\/\/makeitagarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Fish-2-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/makeitagarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Fish-2-768x644.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 421px) 100vw, 421px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">fish outta water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>STEP 4:<\/strong> Add Details: Once the paint is completely dry, use the black paint marker to add details that give your fish life-like features. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/makeitagarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Fish-3.png\" alt=\"fish platter demonstrates how to add the face details to the fish after being painted.
