Exclusive and non-destructive? Is it possible? Yes, if you take the composition of the design for your own garden in your own hands — from the beginning to the end.
Hand made? It’s … profitable!
Garden, lovely garden! We dream of a beautiful frame for their personal possessions, that everyone, even the farthest corner of the site will caress the eyes and warm the soul. But, as often happens, the magical dreams remain unrealized, and the reason is very earthly: for the beauty you have to pay. And here’s the time to remember what a pleasure it is — to give vent to imagination, to compose and to realize complex “scores” for all the participants of the garden “orchestra” performing each of its “part”.
Than traditionally decorate the territory of a country site? There are so many options that eyes run up: amusing gnomes, touching small animals, romantic lamps, garden screens and decorative panels… but here the problem — well made thing costs a lot of money, and faceless plastic stamping is necessary to nobody. What to do? Create masterpieces with your own hands! Especially since hand made today-the most current trend in garden fashion.
Let the elements of exclusive decor will be in your dacha those diamonds that are able to decorate even the most modest outfit.
1. Include in the” set for creativity ” the most common objects
Use simple and familiar things, “scattered” in the house and on the site:
Include in the” set for creativity ” the most common objects
- First-the remains of building materials: plywood, boards, lining, block house, as well as rails, baseboards, corners, ceramic tiles (whole and broken).
- Secondly-country stock: watering cans, buckets, shovels, barrels for watering, ropes for tying of trees, containers for plants, decorative gravel, rubber boots, garden furniture.
- And finally, the old things that we send “in reference” to the country: dishes, mirrors, suitcases, balls, floor vases and all sorts of little things — shells, glass stones, cotton floss.
Colored ceramics as a decoration-why not?
Important: you can use all that is at hand — in the process of creating creations ideas will come themselves.

2. Say “no” to shopping containers
You are quite capable to produce such containers with their hands. A good mini-compositions will complement the beds and mixed borders, linking the floral decoration of the garden into a unified whole. In addition, they are mobile and can easily “travel” through the garden, changing its appearance every time, as if by magic.
- Discovered unnecessary standard plastic pots or vases? Great! They can be painted, painted, tied with bamboo or branches, paste over shells, coins, glass pebbles, pebbles or wrap ropes.
Unusual lamps in fact-pots with plants.
- No tanks ready? Create author’s options from improvised means: excellent “house” for blooming annuals or perennials can be folded from logs or timber type log or use for this purpose basket, painted with bright colors.

Old massive watering cans, basins, irons will be useful. Important: “ancient” items in the decoration is not needed, but modern — for example, galvanized watering can — decorate by painting or decoupage, but instead of the usual decorative paint, use a boat.
You can make a container in the style of “patchwork”, tightly gluing any container with small colored patches of calico and covering the surface with the same boat varnish.
