The Well-Decorated Garden: 50 Ornaments & Accents to Make for Your Outdoor Room FROM THE PUBLISHER
Decorative touches turn your garden area into an outdoor extension of your home. Fifty-five no-prior-skills-required projects for garden containers, stakes and markers, furnishings, and other features will add comfort, attract wildlife, and literally light up the space. Start small, if you'd like, with adorable planters made from stiffened garden gloves. Bend and twist wire into an ivy topiary frame. Take shelter in a romantic locust-log arbor covered with climbers. Soothe your soul with the sound of running water in a lava rock cascade fountain or with wind chimes. Feathered friends will flock right to the Victorian bird feeder--especially if you set it right in the midst of your most colorful blooms. Many of the materials are recycled, and a variety of crafting techniques will kindle your creativity!
