A Watering Can That Pours Crystals

By Amanda Formaro

My neighbor and good friend, Debra, made this wonderful garden craft decoration from an old watering can and chandelier crystals. The light from the sun reflects off of the crystals, making it shine brilliantly. The stream of crystals look like they are pouring out of the watering can’s spout using little more than some wire and a bead to secure them. Keep reading to find out how to make your own watering can that pours crystals!
