01 Sep 2022

If a dad in your life is an avid gardener, or perhaps he’s just discovered his green thumb, this is a thoughtful Father’s Day gift you can make for him. . Hues like Resene Poppy and Resene Kamikaze will make your veggie garden pop.

You will need:

• 6 wooden spoons
• Resene testpot paints in your choice of colours (Fleur used Resene Poppy, Resene Kamikaze, Resene Pirate Gold , Resene Parsley, Resene Tree Frog and Resene Black)
• Small craft paintbrush

How to:

Step 1: For this project you will need 6 wooden spoons. 

Step 2: Start by painting on the basic shape of each of your vegetables. Fleur used Resene Poppy for the tomato and strawberry, Resene Kamikaze for the carrot, Resene Pirate Gold for the corn, Resene Tree Frog for the lettuce and Resene Parsley for the zucchini. 

Step 3: Next, paint on the stems and leaves of the vegetables with Resene Tree Frog and Resene Parsley.

Step 4: Finish off the vegetables by painting on the extra detail and outlining each of them with Resene Black. 

Step 5: Finally, write on the name of each vegetable with some more Resene Black paint. Poke in the soil, and enjoy!
