In fact, making garden jewelry yourself is not so difficult as it seems at first glance. Of course, you can buy such figures in the store. But they are not cheap. Depending on the size and material of manufacture, the price fluctuates from one thousand rubles to ten. But it is much more pleasant to make unique garden figures with your own hands! Moreover, all the materials that are needed for this, you certainly have at your fingertips.

So, how are green garden figures of animals created? To make a deer, a hare or, for example, a wolf for your garden, it is necessary to take a metal mesh, a steel wire (at least 10 mm in diameter), soil, straw and grass seeds for the future lawn with which our figure will be covered. Also, a so-called knitting wire will be needed to fasten the frame of such an unusual sculpture. When all the materials are collected and ready, it's time for creativity.

First you need to draw a sketch of our beast. On it and twist the frame as follows: the steel wire bends and fixes the knitting wire. The animal's body is wrapped in a net and we fall asleep on the bottom of a previously prepared soil with seeds and straw. Well and further business of time - we do not forget to water our little animal and very soon the seeds will sprout.

In the garden, garden figurines also look original, with their own hands made of foam and mounting foam. Well, with the latter, it's all clear. It easily and simply creates various forms, which after hardening can be covered with paints. But with polystyrene, the situation is different. After all, it is used precisely as a frame. To attach parts of the figure made of foam to each other, you need to use sand and cement. But such a garden statuette will be very resistant to weather and will delight the eye for more than one season.

Another original way of creating garden figures is the use of ordinary plastic bottles. In this case, plastic bottles of different shapes and sizes will be needed, as well as a paint that will give our animal a color. At first you can try to make one of the simplest figures - the figure of a pig. It is necessary to take a six-liter plastic bottle, and in one of its side parts to make four holes. It is from them that the "pig's legs" will grow. For the feet, small bottles of yoghurt are ideal. A pin will be a cork from a big bottle! At the top of the bottle, you still need to make slits for plastic ears, which can also be cut out of a container. And, of course, what kind of pig without a pig's tail crochet? It is also very simple to cut and attach to the back of the trunk. Well, then it's up to the little one - just color the received garden figurines with your own hands in pink and draw your eyes.
