Who's peeking out of your flowerbed? These cheeky little garden gnomes will show you right away which herbs they have and thus playfully organise your herb or flower bed. These companions also make a lovely gift for plant lovers.

This is how the fun plant sticks are designed:
First knead the concrete modelling mass until soft. Then roll the mass into a sausage with one side thicker than the other. Form a small ball as a nose and press it onto the stick. Shape a cap out of more modelling clay and place it on the thick end. Connect the "cap" and the "head" with the silicone modelling brush and spread. Insert a small screw eyelet into the herb plug from behind. The sign can be hung up here later.

Roll out some concrete modelling clay. Use the texture stamp set to press the name of your herbs or flowers into the mass. Use the bamboo skewer to press two holes in it for later hanging. You can make small holes around the edge for decoration. Leave to dry for approx. 24 hours. Then paint with VBS craft paint in the colours of your choice. After drying, seal with the weatherproof impregnation. Finally, glue on the eyes with VBS craft glue and pull a ribbon through the signs and eyelets to attach the signs to the gnomes.
