  Put it together. The skill required to assemble your own garden art varies by what you are choosing to do. If you are doing a glass mosaic piece, it will be easy but time consuming. If you are making a wood bench, it will require drawings, plans and trial and error. If you are making a piece of metal artwork that needs to be welded, you will need special welding materials and safety precautions.
