Trash to Treasure – repurposing a lantern into garden art

Yard Art 

Trash to treasure. One of my favorite things to do when I am not gardening. Turning something broken into something beautiful.

If you have read my blog you know I love lanterns, and living south of Chicago, I have to contend with windy conditions. Wind + lanterns equals broken glass. At least around my house, that is what it equals and this poor thing was on the front porch. The porch is supposed to be a safe zone. Least it was.
