My privacy trellises are made from hollow pipe, so I need to put caps on the top ends to prevent them from getting wet inside and to give them a finished look.
I bought some caps that are made to fit the end of the pipe I bought, but their design is meant to be funtional not decorative so I need to transform them somehow.
Here is a handful of views of them (see what I did there? har har)
I could just paint them to match and string a top wire through them.
They could be the fixtures for a stabilizing cross-post, which I hope I do not need.
I could cut off the flange, paint to match and just have caps. Boring.
I could use the flange as a support underneath something cute - of course that's what I really want to do - but what? I thought about crafting felt birds to sit on top, but they wouldn't weather well.
I thought about affixing some object of colored glass that would catch the light...
I thought about carving some little wooden widget of some kind...
Do you have any ideas for me? I need 4....
