We have a ton of great DIY decorations for your garden, but there’s nothing quite like making something yourself. Each person has their own style, which often shows itself in the way they decorate their homes or gardens. That little bit of personal touch becomes even more apparent when you make the decorations yourself, out of whatever materials you happen to have lying around. Why buy another garish inflatable snowman when you can make an army of terracotta soldiers? For one thing, they’re far more versatile; for every snowflake, there’s a flurry of leaves or (heaven forbid) snow, but your statues will be just as decorative throughout the year.
And they’re not just for the garden either. You can keep them inside or use them to decorate the front porch, side of your house, even in your office! They don’t need any kind of magic to do that… well, unless you believe in pixies. But no one’s going to make fun of you for that, so just ignore that part. Here are some of our favorite DIY garden decorations to inspire you!
