My neighbor and good friend, Debra, made this wonderful DIY yard art from an old watering can and hanging crystals from an old chandelier. 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!

Watering Can That Pours Crystals

This watering can is the perfect whimsical garden decoration. it would look gorgeous next to these beautiful Decorative Garden Stakes, don’t you think?

NOTE: If you prefer to purchase one of these, check out the beautiful options available on Etsy!

I’ll explain how to make something like this yourself down below, or you can watch the video just below this paragraph. After you watch the video, be sure to scroll down the rest of the post and see all the photos!

A Watering Can That Pours Crystals @amandaformaro Crafts by Amanda

When I shared a photo of this watering can project on Instagram a few years ago, I had no idea what was going to follow. I went to my Facebook page and shared the instagram photo there.

What resulted was almost 700 likes and over 200 shares! Those were crazy numbers for my Facebook page back then! So, since it was obviously quite popular, I stopped by Debra’s the next day to get some better pictures and tell you how you can make your own as well.

Debra and I live literally right around the corner from each other. Before we even met I had been to her garage sales and passed by her house probably a gazillion times. Then one day she introduced herself to me saying that she “met” me through this blog. Oddly enough, I didn’t think anyone in my sleepy little town even knew what a blog was, let alone followed one.

That was a little over 4 years ago and since then Debra and I have become good friends. We share creative tips and bounce crafty ideas off each other all the time. I’m so glad that she came to my door that day!

Debra lives in a cute little farm house with a great big barn in her side yard. I’ve salvaged some things from that barn, including these Distressed Shutters. In fact, in that post you’ll see a few pictures of Debra’s barn and property.

If you want to see even more, I have a small photo album of Debra’s barn on Facebook.

A Watering Can That Pours Crystals

Debra has a lovely garden. It’s obviously fall here in southeast Wisconsin so all the brightly colored flowers have gone to sleep for the year, but the set up is full of whimsical goodies that I’ll show you here.

Much of what you’ll find in Debra’s yard was salvaged from the side of the road or picked up for pennies at a garage sale. Her garden path is lined with blue bottles that have been turned upside down and pushed into the earth.

chipped paint pots

One of my favorite parts of her garden are these chippy herb pots. She found three of them stacked together in a garbage can.

chipped paint pots

I love how she expressed it… she said that the previous owner probably said “Ewww the paint’s all chipping off..” (read that in a disappointed voice).

Debra’s reaction (read this with an excited voice) “Oooo! The paint’s all chipping off!!” :)

decorative wind chime made with keys and beads

This pretty little garden gem was made from a glass flower frog, some colorful beads, wire and bunch of rusty keys.

A Watering Can That Pours Crystals @amandaformaro Crafts by Amanda

crow made from an old shovel

Over by the barn there’s a broken old chair covered with vines, and sitting on that chair is this whimsical crow made from metal and an old shovel.

A Watering Can That Pours Crystals @amandaformaro Crafts by Amanda

Hanging nearby are more crystals, this time they’re dripping from a small metal jello mold pan.

A Watering Can That Pours Crystals @amandaformaro Crafts by Amanda

Another ornament is this hanging sphere made from two round plant hangers glued together.

toad stools

One of my favorite parts of the garden are these adorable toadstools. Maybe I should donate my fairy house to this scene!

Garden Decor Windchime

Around the corner from the toadstools is this great big wind chime made with more beads.

Water Spicket decor

Debra even spruced up this old rusty water handle by adding gems and beads on wire.

A Watering Can That Pours Crystals @amandaformaro Crafts by Amanda

Debra and I have similar tastes when it comes to rusty goodness!

A Watering Can That Pours Crystals @amandaformaro Crafts by Amanda

She has crystal goodness all over her garden and says “I am a lover of all things shiny!”

Garden Decor

As you’re leaving Debra’s driveway, this metal man made from old pipes waves to say goodbye!

A Watering Can That Pours Crystals @amandaformaro Crafts by Amanda

To make the watering can

You will need

  • Watering tin can
  • Crystal beads
  • Thin floral wire
  • Micro pliers
  • Any type of bead (only 1 bead)

First, Debra removed the rim from the spout. Work slowly as it may be tight depending on the age of your can.

A Watering Can That Pours Crystals

As you can see from the close-up, she strung crystals onto a piece of wire and threads the ends into the spout holes. From the inside of the spout, run a bead (any kind of bead as it won’t be visible) onto the wire and twist and wrap to hold the wire inside the spout. Then simply reattach the rim of the spout head to the can by crimping the edges with pliers.

Debra found her can at a garage sale for $1.00 and the crystals were given to her by a friend. You can find crystals on Amazon like these crystals.

Pretty awesome stuff. Debra’s pretty awesome too :) I just love how beautiful her garden and all her decor is! She is one crafty and creative lady! You may want to check out my Ladybug Painted Rocks that look oh so adorable sitting in a flower bed! Or you may also like How to Start a Fairy Garden as well!

Debra got her watering can from a garage sale. If you can’t find one, you can get one on Amazon.

      Put your crystals onto the wire, leaving about 3 inches extra.
      Put the ends of wire thru a 1 inch piece of wine cork that has Been cut down to fit Snugly into the tube of your can.
      . Roll ends of wire to prevent them from slipping back through the cork, trimming excess wires
      Put an industrial type glue (E-6000) inside the tube of your watering can and onto the cork.
      Place cork about an inch into the tube, Let glue dry 24 hours

    I don’t remember exactly how I first saw your water can project, only that I love it. When I first saw it, below there was a way to get the groups of crystals, but I don’t have that information. Were you selling this grouping of crystals? Mayvbe you can point me in the right direction so I could purchase this display.
    Thank you so much,

    ;) The watering can is darling! We have a big plastic green one we never use… That may do just fine! And when Anita mentioned a mirror, like in a bird bath, I instantly thought — Oh Yes! But – why a mirror?? Why not real water in the birdbath, with the watering can and crystals above it! Then almost immediately, I found Marilyn’s comments, with similar thinking! Haha!! Great minds think alike! ;) ;) … Now I’m thinking this would be beautiful at the east corner of our covered Courtyard – where it gets morning sun! Wanting to see those crystals sparkling!! Thanks for the good ideas… ;)

    Simply love the watering can idea,it is amazing…I have all the items needed.We were snowed in from January 13th..til last week,and I had run out of things to make.This will be gorgeous placed above our small waterfall going into our fishpond!!Thinking to suspend the can from a sturdy tree branch,and perhaps glue some of my crystals on the rocks down into the pond.(it’s a small fish pond)hoping the water flowing over the crystals hit by the sun will form small rainbows across the pond.Will let you know if it works!

    Hi Amanda

    I came upon your fabulous watering can with crystals when I did a search for decorated watering cans on Pinterest. One would think it to be a somewhat limited area for results – but it didn’t matter what else came up once I saw this. I’m now thinking of making a board just for garden ideas I have a tiny garden – but little crafts could make it look so good.

    This is just genius – thanks for adding a Pinterest button so that I could put this on my altered crafts board!!! Love it.

        Do you sell any of your crafts? I would be interested in the watering can pouring crystals

          I made the teapot and cup with the crystals. I can send pictures of some I had done if you send me your email.

          Thanks

        How do you keep real water and dirt dobbers from collecting in the bottom of the can?

          At the angle that the can hangs it doesn’t really collect any. But wouldn’t hurt to check it once in a while.
