Magnificent woody plants, lavish perennials and velvety green lawns can be discovered in every beautiful garden. It is the accessories that make your green realm unmistakably beautiful. Homemade garden figures are very popular here, because they are nowhere to be found. Be inspired by these tips.
How to transform plants into garden figures
Evergreen shrubs, such as boxwood and thuja are perfect for the imaginative shape cut. For beginners, balls and pyramids are the ideal starting point for creating floral garden figures. For artistically sophisticated forms, you will receive ready-made stencils made of wire or cardboard in a variety of variations. You can even work out filigree silhouettes with special pruning shears or a pair of sheep shears.

From plaster, concrete and mosaic stones can form the most diverse garden figures. It is easier with ready-made templates that you can paint with your children or beautify with mosaic stones.
So breathe clay pots artistic life
Small and large clay pots are not lacking in the garden. Not only do your plants thrive wonderfully here. With a few simple steps, the vessels transform into creative garden figures. Make 2 equal sized pots edge to edge, secured with a thick, woven straw band as a belt. A smaller clay pot serves as a head filled with straw as a hair replacement. Paint the face with acrylic paints and sew colorful cloths from scraps of fabric - the self-created garden figure is finished for free.
Tips
Rustic wooden and wine boxes are not only suitable for the individual planter. With a little manual skill you can make a decorative hedgehog house out of 2 boxes and 1 wooden board. Saw a small, round entrance gate leading into a windscreen. Only around the corner is the cat-safe living area for the hedgehog. A brick subfloor and a roof made of wood or roofing keep the house dry.
