From My Garden to Yours: Pelican & Flamingo Bird Templates
Spring is definitely in the air and, as we say goodbye to winter here in the southwest, I'm looking forward to spending more and more time in my garden. Blue skies and gentle breezes are hard to resist after being inside more than usual so far this year.
Apart from my great-grandmother's garden gnome, my absolute favorite garden accessories are several vintage wooden flamingos on stakes and one lone pelican. Over the years they've weathered beautifully to where you can see the grain of the wood. Neat patches of moss have replaced old paint, and the flamingos have faded from their original pink color.
Just in case you need a flamingo or pelican of your own, I've included a template below for you to download. Just click for the larger version and drag it into your desktop. You can enlarge or reduce as needed.
If you want to put one on a stake, simply drill a hole near the bottom. Using needle nose pliers bend a thick wire through the hole and squeeze it tight. You can always use one of the stake legs from a tomato cage if you're hard pressed for a thick enough wire.
Here's the template:
