Saturday Spotlight~ Patio Paver Lady BUG’s
HERE IS A FUN SATURDAY SPOTLIGHT do it your self project~
CAN WE SAY CA-UUUTE! My brother Gareth made these for my SIL Julie for her newly planted garden. Their third child was a girl and they did her DARLING room in lady bugs. So they have an attachment to lady bugs. Julie wanted some ladybugs in her garden.
THEY STARTED WITH THESE~
AND ended up with this!
and these!
HOW TO: They used floral wire for the antenna’s. To drill the wholes in the brick they used a masonry drill bit. To make sure they stayed in firmer place they also used a dab of hot glue.
BEST PART~ you can do a bumble bee, snail, turtle… all the same way.
WAY TO GO GARE AND JULIE! (p.s. their blog is private so sorry no link!)
LOVE this idea! I want to make these like RIGHT now!
I got black and white lady bugs like that for my wedding, they were a little bride and groom, so cute!
What a cute idea! My boys would have a great time making these with me!
Oh yes, I can say CA-UUUTE!! I’m just wondering if Gareth must have used a good spray sealant for these? They’re adorable, and I think they’d be lots of fun to make! ~tina
You can use acrylic sealer, we have also used modge podge that worked ok.
These are absolutely adorable! How clever! I want some for my yard!
