    I use Silicone GE ll window & doors(clear) on all my crafts. I made a mosaic bowling ball fountain using it & it is fine, even in water!

    I love these garden tags. What a great project for over the winter. There are always a few broken pots in the garage.

    Great repurpose of broken pots! They are just too cute! I might have to steal this idea when I come across some broken terra cotta.
