Wicker Obelisks

How's this for an instant fix?

Most people's gardens don't exactly sparkle in winter, but we have a way to make yours shimmer and shine all the way through to spring!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 wicker obelisks - the sort we sell at the garden centre for training sweet peas, clematis or even runner beans up in the summer.
  • 1 tin gold paint spray.

METHOD:

  • Stand obelisks on newspaper or a dustsheet out of doors.
  • Spray with a single coat of gold spray paint and leave to dry.
  • Position in borders for a welcome splash of gold, or group together on the lawn (pressed into the turf) and create your own budget sculpture!

 

Your obelisks may fade in time; this, of course, isn't necessarily a disadvantage, because by the time summer comes, you can use them to support gorgeous climbers, enabling you to fill the garden with colour and scent!
