Let's get the party started
Friends and families have announced themselves for the next barbecue party. We still have four simple decoration ideas for the garden, which can be implemented quickly.
You need this for the hanging buffet:
- 3 bowls / bowls (about 15 cm)
- 1 flowerpot (about 12 cm)
- Wooden plate approx. 60 x 60 cm (hardware store)
- fine sandpaper
- gray wood paint
- paint roller
- orange rope (length depending on tree height, here approx. 4 x 150 cm)
- pencil
- Drill with wood drill (about 1 cm)
- jigsaw
And that's how easy it is:
1. Arrange the bowls and the flowerpot with the opening facing downwards on the wooden plate and draw with the pencil around it.
2. Saw the circles with the jigsaw, approx. 2 cm smaller (ie further inside the circle) than marked. Drill a hole in the circle to start with the jigsaw.
3. Drill a hole for the ropes in all 4 corners.
4. Sand the saw edges with the sandpaper.
5. Paint the dedusted plate and allow to dry well.
6. Guide the ropes through the holes and knot them on the bottom. Hang up the board and place bowls in the holes.
You need this for the game:
- old wooden box (Weinkisteo, Ä.)
- 6 empty glass bottles
- Spray Paint (MTN 94, 3, 75 €)
- 6 wooden rings (craft shop)
- Fabric strip (about 3 cm wide)
- stamp
- inkpad
- Adhesive tape (eg from Tesa)
- Paper for the work surface
- scissors
And that's how easy it is:
1. Spray colored wooden box and bottles as you like. Let the paint dry.
2. Wrap the wooden rings with the strips of fabric, fixing them to the wood at the beginning and end with the adhesive tape.
3. Stamp the box with any flower motifs.
Info: Use spray paint on paper underlays only in well-ventilated areas or outdoors, wearing gloves and mouthguards.
That's what you need for the wind chime:
- cans
- Safety can opener (eg from Leifheit)
- felt-tip pen
- Spray paint (MTN 94)
- Natural cord (craft shop)
- Cordless drill (about 2 mm) or nail and hammer
- Paper for the work surface
- scissors
And that's how easy it is:
1. Remove the canned lids with a special can opener that leaves no sharp edges.
2. After cleaning with a pen, draw the desired pattern on the lids and drill or hammer in with a nail. (Add a hole for suspension at the top and bottom.)
3. Then spray the lids on both sides in the desired colors and let them dry well.
4. Band the lids together and hang them up.
Tip: no cans at hand? Paper plates or other materials do it too.
You need this for the fairy lights:
- Plastic cup (drugstore)
- Maskingtape (craft shop)
- LED fairy lights with battery (craft shop)
- scissors
- Cutter or scalpel
And that's how easy it is:
1. Stick the plastic cups with masking tape.
2. Using the cutter, carve a small cross in the bottom of the cups and insert a light from the chain of lights.
