Robb Whittlef shares how to make three interesting accessories out of trellis, a window pane and garden edging.

Trellis Birdhouse

Attach three pieces of trellis (narrow side up) by drilling holes in the sides and wiring together (figure A). Attach a birdhouse to the top with screws. Paint and set over a potted climbing vine.

Entry Organizer

Attach a small mirror to the middle of a window pane with screws (figure B). Add a small shelf to the bottom, add mismatched hooks along the sides and attach a piece of architectural detail to the top.

Garden Votives

Use copper wire to hold glass insulators to garden edging (figure C). Drop in a votive candle and place piece on a wall or along a front walk.
