When decorating your home or garden, a touch of imagination never goes amiss, and by resorting to DIY creations, you will be sure to add personalized and often truly unique touches - touches that everyone will remember. Consider, for example, of a planter that has the shape of Snoopy's doghouse, with the famous cartoon character lying on the roof in his classical position.

This is one of many designs, each more adorable than the other, that can be found in the form of a tutorial you can download from an Etsy shop called PilibruCreaciones. This is a great resource for anyone who wants to try their hand at some fun carpentry work. Create animals of all kinds to decorate the garden with panache: take a look at these very nice ideas:

There is also a great variety of models that replicate the features of many beloved dog breeds, this for example is a Newfoundland (Terranova) dog.

There is even the one for a Shar Pei breed, with all its iconic folds around their muzzles!

But if your favorite dog breed was, for example, a Scottish Terrier, no problem: there is a planter that also pays homage to this dog.

There are many other types of dog planters available, but there are also other kinds of animals: for example an owl that you could customize with any paint colors you want (maybe making a white owl like Hedwig from the Harry Potter stories?).
