This cute little critter has a spike on the bottom making it an ideal decoration for any garden plant pot, hanging basket, planter, flower pot, window box, vegetable patch or patio pot. It will add unique quirky character to your outdoor space, garden, greenhouse, allotment, patio, yard or shed and is sure to make you smile each time you look at it.

Each plant pot ornament also has a hole in the spike which can be used to fix the ornament to a wooden bird table, trellis, screen, fence, pergola or arbour.

An example of how a customer attached their plant pot ornaments to their bird table and created a slug family parade can be seen in the gallery of my website: https://www.reddragonmetalart.co.uk/gallery

Available to buy on their own for £5 or a pack of 4 for just £10 – please select your choice from the drop down menu before adding to your basket.

Supplied in ‘ready to rust’ raw mild steel the plant pot ornament will rust over time so you can experience the enjoyment of watching as it naturally turns rusty.

To speed up the rusting process an occasional spray of salty water over the first few days or so will help create the rust effect.

Alternatively you could colour your plant pot ornament with metal paint to create your own unique piece of artwork. We would advise using an acid etch primer base coat before applying your colour to help inhibit rust formation.

As your ornament will be sent in raw steel it will appear shiny, if you put your ornament indoors it will rust very slowly. For the rusted patina look we recommend that you make them rusty outside and then coat the rusty ornament with a clear lacquer or varnish to minimise risk of rust transfer.

Please take care as rust can stain if contact is made between surfaces, skin or furnishings.

The slug measures 95mm x 60mm x 0.8mm (not including spike)
