I don’t have the plans for these but anted to share them. They would be a bit of work but love the idea of them sitting on a garden border like this. Your little ones would love to visit the garden with you with this characters like this to visit.
The Scrabble game shown is a bit fancy buy you can do this at home. You take walking stones that measure 12 x 12 or 10 x 10 and make a 15 stone by 15 stone patio.
With wood (use thin board to thick board depending on your budget and make the following tiles the same size as your paving stones size.
Hand paint or use stencils to make the coordinating letters and points for the tiles. use your own style and paint the tiles background in vibrant colors or color pallet of your choice. Letters could be any font – they don’t HAVE to be identical to the Scrabble font and colors.
Using a scrabble board you will make tiles the same size as your paving stones and make the triple, double tile designs. These can be placed before your game starts. Again use your imagination and place the tiles in any position to make each game unique.
Store all tiems in a dry place to prevent warping, paint peeling and mildew.
What a really cute idea for your garden. Buy an old metal coffee pot or watering can at a flea market or thrift store. Purchase a set of rods in a camping department. Put your cooking rods in the ground where you would lik them. Make sure top rod sits fine. Pull this out and use the holes to make a ring from old bricks (or new ones if you like). Fill with good garden dirt. Plant mums that are orange, burgundy and red mixed in with some wood to create the fire. Put your cooking rods back in and fill your pot with dirt after you have drilled drain holes in the bottom. plant flowers and hang on the spit rods.
How cute are these little guys – they would not be a worry to find them in your garden. Select rocks with a nice shape similar to the ones that are in the picture. Acrylic paints were used – you could even use paint that glows in the dark. They are sealed with three coats polyurethane to allow them to be used for many years.
