Transform Your Garden: A Simple Life Hack to Upgrade Cheap Plastic Ornaments British gardener Ish, known for his gardening tips on social media, recently shared a clever technique to enhance the look of inexpensive plastic garden ornaments. In a short video posted on May 30th, 2025, Ish demonstrates how to transform a plain white plastic rabbit into a seemingly antique bronze piece using only two spray paints (black and gold) and a paper towel. "It's not as difficult as you think," Ish explains in the video, showcasing the simple process. He begins by completely covering the rabbit in gold paint. Then, using the black paint, he applies it directly over the gold, creating a contrasting effect. Finally, he uses a paper towel to carefully wipe away the excess black paint, revealing the gold underneath. This technique leaves the black paint in the crevices of the statue, creating a realistic aged bronze look. The video, which has garnered over 11,900 views and 518 likes, has inspired many viewers to try this easy and cost-effective gardening hack. One commenter praised the technique, saying, "This is brilliant! I'm definitely trying this on my garden gnomes!" The simple transformation makes a significant aesthetic difference and is a testament to creative upcycling.
