Here's a fun, homemade keepsake for the
Dad that's always out in the garden!
Dress up a plain plastic Hand Trowel with colorful paints and a clever way to tell Dad how awesome he is!
Here's what you'll need:
- Hand Trowel (Fiskars)
- Assorted Paints (use acrylic)
- Paper plates for paints
- Paint Brushes
- Tacky Glue
- Ribbon
- Small amount of Small Rocks (bagged or bulk)
Start by removing any dust or stickers from the hand trowel.
Use a larger paint brush to paint several layers of paint onto the inside of the trowel.
You can also paint the handle a different color if you wish.
Use a smaller paint brush for the lettering or any other smaller details.
Pick complimentary or contrasting colors that you know
dad will love!
Acrylic paints give the best results and dry quickly.
With a paintbrush, dab a generous amount of tacky glue to the bottom tip of the inside of the trowel.
Place a few rocks onto the glue and allow to dry thoroughly before holding upright.
Top it off with a colorful ribbon and your gift is ready.
Made with Love!
