Plate flower Yard Art

Items needed:
A variety of plates and dishes that look well stacked together
Hockey pucks with 3/8" or larger hole drilled in it
marine epoxy,CLEAR ( we used Gorilla glue at first and it fell apart when it became wet)
ReBar of your desired length, painted your desired color
(Some people were using plastic rebar they found in the garden department and it worked too.)
I wiped off the plates with alcohol before using the adhesive to make sure there was a clean surface to adhere to.
Here is a picture of the back side of the plate.

I have also seen them with cups glued to the plate.

I ordered a bunch of the pucks because we had 30 women wanting to make the plates. We ordered in bulk and they ended up costing about $2 each. I googled them and ordered from a sporting goods place but just now I tried Amazon and you can get them there too.
