Hopefully you can see in this pic that the glue is applied to the raised outside edge of the bottom.
Here's the glue I use... Marine GOOP adhesive. It's used in boat repair and is UV and water resistant. I've heard that E6000 works well also, but I've never used it for outdoor projects.
Remove the tape, and let your dish flower cure for about 24 hours in a cool place. This is important, the glue won't cure properly in hot and/or humid conditions.
Tape the spoon in place and let it cure for about 24 hours. It needs to be fully cured before you place it into the pipe to display in your garden.
Once your dish flower is cured place the spoon into the pipe, which should be inserted into the ground about 10-12" to give it strength on windy days.
If you have cold and snowy winters dish flowers should be safely stored out of the elements to keep them looking good.
Now that you see how easy it is I hope you'll make one to decorate your own garden.
The possibilities are really endless. To see a few examples of others I've made please pop over to my site using the link.
