Embellish your garden, terrace or balcony with self made happiness guards! They look decorative and who knows - maybe they really bring good luck!
What are lucky guards?
Lucky guards are wooden modules that have been combined to form decorative wooden plugs for the garden. Symbols & messages of the lucky guards are to provide protection and peace.This is how you make your own lucky guards
You need a wooden round stick, Ø 15 mm, for each fortune guard. In order that all wooden objects can later be placed on the rod, all objects must be drilled with a corresponding hole (VBS Box "Cube", VBS Decorative bird houses, decorative wreath). Place the individual modules "for testing" in front of you.Now you will be sprayed with paint easily and quickly. The Colour spray makes the application of paint particularly even. It also dries very quickly. Tip: When using Colour spray , we recommend that you keep the object to be sprayed in a cardboard box. Then paint pretty patterns on your coloured wooden objects. This works especially well with a coloured permanent Marker.
Place all objects on the round bars. Fix them with hot glue or - especially suitable for outdoor decorations - with VBS Effect Glue. Decorate the wooden sticks according to your personal taste with small satin bows, a finished decorative object as lace and small accessories.
The finished Lucky Guards can be plugged directly into the ground. Or you can design - as in this idea - a flower pot as a stand.
Flowerpot stand
Use a Terracotta-pot as large as possible or alternatively a heavy plant pot. Design it in a colour that matches the lucky guardian and decorate it with a pretty Jute ribbon-bow and a decorative accessory.Fill the pot completely with air-drying clay Modelling clay and stick the lucky guard wooden stick into the mass. The weight of the Modelling clay will provide enough stability for the wooden stick in the Terracotta-pot. Finally, cover the clay mass with moss or decorative grass.
Lucky Message
It is imperative that the lucky guards are provided with a protective message. The wooden heart of our decoration example is ideal as a writing reason for your personal luck and blessing words.
