How nice to enjoy the summer and warmth in your own country house surrounded by bright and unusual little things: funny toy birdhouses or a potato slide with flowers!
ACROBATIC STUDY
Multi-colored clay pots forming a "circus" pyramid will not tip over even with a strong gust of wind. And you can plant a variety of plants in them - all of them will have enough sunlight!
HOW TO MAKE
You will need:
Clay flower pots of different sizes, glossy varnish-spray of different colors (Dupli-Clor), aluminum tube, threaded rod (should go into the tube), nut, washer under the nut.
Step 1
Prepare pots of different colors. To do this, paint them outside and inside with aerosol varnish in several layers. Leave to dry completely.
Step 2
Prepare the boom: screw the nut on the threaded rod so that it does not allow it to completely hide in the aluminum tube. Stick the finished bar deep into the ground (see 2 pictures at the bottom left).
Step 3
Install the washer as a support for the pots. One by one, put the pots on the bar, fixing them with an inclination, and plant flowers in them (see 2 figures in the upper right).
BIRD HOUSES
These toy birdhouses are made very simple, just buy a few children's toys and spray cans.
HOW TO MAKE:
Dimensions: approx. 12 x 8 x 18 cm and 16 x 10 x 25 cm.
You will need:
2 birdhouses (from a flea market or from a store); 1 spray can (Dupli-Color Deco-Splay, 150 ml) of neon pink and neon green colors; OK. 25 cm of green decorative braid 1 cm wide; 2 yellow and red whistle birds (from the toy store); decorative twigs with white leaves; 1 small green frog; 1 orange pompom with a diameter of approx. 1.5 cm; glue gun; black pencil; a sheet of paper in pink.
Description of work:
Spray paint on birdhouses, allow to dry, if necessary, paint with a second layer. After the paint has completely dried with hot glue, glue the twigs with leaves and birds (see photo of the model). Cut the decorative braid into two equal parts, tie each with a bow and fix it with hot glue under the round openings of birdhouses.
Then glue the pompom to the pink birdhouse, and the frog to the green. Cut a comic cloud from paper, write "Piep!" On it with a black pencil. and stick on a pink birdhouse.
