Other different crafts might be something like painted wooden signs using some of these short garden sayings to put in the garden. They can be attached to a post in the ground, or tacked onto a shed, whatever takes your fancy.

I think if you collect something, your porch should be stuffed full of whatever that is. It may be that one fun motif would be elephants. Sort of like these fun rustic elephants . I was fortunate to find the weird seeding plates in a junk yard, but keep your options open for something similar. Or go a different route and use discarded rubber hose with wire inside to make it more realistic for a trunk. Tusks can be curved twigs, the eyes could be beads. The options are endless.

When you've built something you're proud of, brag it up! Most groups love to hear what others have been doing, so share your pictures on there with a write up on the project.
