Many people view their beloved garden as an extra living room — only out in the fresh air of course! That's why it's important for hobby gardeners to adorn their green oasis with the right deco. As the following ideas show, it's also more fun to make any decorations yourself. Today's superb selection uses concrete in various creative ways to make the neighbors have serious yard envy...

1.2 Fix the tops of each boot with tape and leave the concrete to dry.

1.3 Remove the tape and take the plastic cups out of the boots.

1.4 Use a box cutter to remove the rubber boots, leaving just the sole.

1.5 Sand down the concrete boots.

1.6 Apply masking tape to the middle of the concrete boot, leaving a strip at the top free. Spray paint onto this area.

1.7 Add some further decoration to the boots by tying cord around them and planting flowers in the top. What a wonderful addition to any garden!
