Garden animals made out of garden tools

18 years ago

Does anyone have the directions for making "creatures" out of garden tools? I've seen one that looks like a "bird". Some of the tools used were shears for feet, small rakes, scoopers...things like that. Thanks in advance.

These aren't garden animals made out of garden tools, but they sure are cute. Check it out on the "Garden Junk" Forum, under "Bronx Zoo's idea of junk." I was hoping someone would post some ideas.

Thanks so much for sharing Cheri. I too hoped someone would post some directions; but the pics you shared of the flowers are fabulous. I'm definitely going to try to make one of those.....someday.

I designed that Bronx Zoo sculpture and a friend of mine welded it. The flower's center can work as a sprinkler if connected properly. If you are interested in building your own creatures and flowers, I can help you out.
