Strawberries

...but sorry they aren't edible.

We found this great thought from a Facebook post just lately, to paint a strawberry pattern on rocks. Apparently, if you put them about your strawberry plants, they will stop birds or other bothersome pests from stealing your strawberries prior to you can. I never just know how this will work, but we decided to give it a try.

How to make some bird repelling strawberry stones:

1. To commence off with, choose about ten smooth, strawberry shaped stones.
2. Make confident you have purchased, or by now very own, outside acrylic paint in red, black, white, and green.
3. Established up a perform spot, with a handful of slender paint brushes, a cup of drinking water, some newspaper to cover your table, and a couple of paper towels to dry your brushes.
4. Paint one aspect of your stone with red paint, but be guaranteed to depart the stone exhibiting via in a leaf design at the top. Leave it to dry.
5. As soon as the red paint on the very first facet has dried, flip it above and paint the again aspect red, filling in all unpainted space. By now the only bare stone displaying ought to be a leaf shaped pattern all around the best of your strawberry.
6. Now that you have painted the strawberries red, paint the top rated facet of the leaf pattern you still left at the best of your stone green. Depart it to dry then flip the stone and paint the other side.
7. Now, blend some white and green together to create a tint of your earlier green, and highlight the leaves by painting quick stripes and a dot in the center. Don't forget to wait around until eventually one particular aspect has dried until finally carrying out the other.
8. You might be practically completed ! It's time to use black paint and a constant hand. Make confident you are making use of a slender brush and paint the seeds which are tear shaped ( NOT Round, try out not to make that blunder )randomly across the stone, then go away it to dry and paint the other facet.
9. Repeat with all stones.
10. Yay you completed ! We would adore to see some pictures, and we will involve them in this submit if you e-mail some to us.

So how was it? Way too hard ? Uncomplicated ? I would adore to see your views on this small project !

Till yet another job
