| I found these pavers at Lowe's several months ago. Thought the shape could be painted and made into "people". I was thinking of something like Raggedy Anne & Andy, or maybe a garden lady. Could add wood cutouts, silk flowers, etc.
Has anyone on here ever made a project with these? Or do you have any other ideas that might work? I've painted on the regular pavers, just thought this might be something new to try. Here's a front and a side view. Luvs

| Hi Minnie, How are you doing? Haven't chatted with you for awhile. Got lots of suggestions from Anj on the painting forum, and someone on Garden Junk suggested a clothespin. Wouldn't that be cute for a laundry room doorstop? ;o) Luvs |

| The rounded top ones would be perfect to paint choir kids on. Big heads with an "O" for the mouth, red or green robes & white yoke collars. Or make them into carolers. You could attach something to the back of each, for arms (thick wire?) then glue a faux songbook/hymnal onto their 'hands'. |

| Tnflower lover, that link is for the other type of pavers. I've done a few of those. A couple of the ones on there could certainly be adapted to this type paver also. Thanks for the ideas. Sharon, I like the choir kids/ caroler idea too. I think I even have a pattern for one with the O mouth in one of my craft mags. Thanks. Luvs |

| Luvs, There are a slug of them pictured at this link. Angels, 4th of July lady, golfer, gingerbread men I think...I can't remember what all. |

| Thanks Nodakgal, those were so fun to see. Love all the imagination that went into them. I'd better pick something and get busy. I guess these pavers have been out for awhile and I just hadn't noticed them. Luvs |

| I don't do pavers (well not yet lol) but the 1st thing I thought of when I saw them was "March of the Wooden Soldiers" - you'd have to add a hat..... Those are very cute! |

| I have a dumb question about the decorated pavers? What do people do with them? My first thought was they use them in their yards and gardens, but I see many decorated with silk flowers, straw hats, yarn and other materials that I would guess to not be weatherproof. so do people keep these inside their homes? |

| NJ, that's a cute idea too--I'll keep it in mind. With all these great ideas, I may have to go buy more of the pavers--I only have two of them now. Surfergal, I display some of mine on a shelf in front of my living room window. It is sheltered by the roof. I do have a couple like my ladybug and snail that I keep out in the garden or on the back patio. Luvs |
