To think that the garden centre manager nicked my idea? (Lighthearted)

Spot the difference.

On the left is the bespoke garden ornament I lovingly crafted over the summer, made from a battered watering can found abandoned at my parents and a string of fairy lights. This has been hanging outside our house since August.
On the left is the knock off at the local garden centre.
Raging! 😂

Yours is better😁

I like yours better too, but I have seen these ALLLLLL over Pinterest...

Yours is definitely better.

I saw a video last year of something very similar and now seeing yours I reckon I may give it a go.

Really?

I don't have Pinterest and genuinely hadn't seen one.
I found the watering can and wanted to reuse it. Most people use them as planters but I wanted to do something quirky.

Yours looks great. What sort of lights have you used?

Just a string of LEDs on copper wire from Amazon. Difference between mine and theirs is mine is a single strand that I looped to a certain length whereas theirs is made up of individual strands.

I think Stacey Solomon has done something similar so that may be where the garden centre has got it from.

Yep this. Yours looks nice though.

His looks like it’s pouring wee

A kettle would be a better look 😂

This was all over the Fb DIY boards a few years back!
Yours look great though!

Yes, I saw Stacey Solomon's a few months ago-it's all her fault. I was wondering if her BFF Mrs Hinch had one.

I’ve seen these everywhere, our village of ten houses all have them. Guessing one person did it and they all fancied a go 😂
Makes pretty lighting in the dark especially as we have no street lights!

These have been about forever. I had one at my last house we moved out of 7 years ago.

This is just depressing me now.

Here's me thinking I have a lovely unique thing and you all tell me I'M the copycat! 😂

Oh well. Seriously I'd never seen anything like it before.

Ummm I’m also going to steal this 😅
Looks awesome op !

Yours is way better but yes these are very common.

Looks lovely but very popular on a diy budget gardening page on fb.

Yours looks much better but I’ve seen these many times before. My neighbour has had one in her back garden for years. They sell them on wish, b&m, range etc.

I saw a version 4 years ago on Pinterest when I was designing my garden. It’s nothing new that you have.

This is just I’ve of them hundred versions I saw.

Yeah sorry my mum made one of them and has had it in her garden for at least 5 years. As someone said idea likely from Pinterest

Good crafting though, doesn't matter if someone else has done it

You maybe saw it and didn’t register it x

Literally every gardening group on FB has those OP. Sorry.

Ah Iove yours! I may copy
