Every inch of your garden should feel personalized, including your bird bath and flower pots. Your outdoor space provides the perfect opportunity to experiment with imaginative decor. Whimsical decor has been trending, and it's no secret that cottagecore is still well-loved by designers, homeowners, and gardeners alike. Customizing your space — both inside and out — can help you curate a unique aesthetic that excites you and your guests. If you're wondering how to design and plant the perfect cottage garden, a custom bird bath or flower pot is the perfect finishing touch.

A simple and unconventional way to upgrade your boring bird bath or flower pot is to use temporary tattoos. Yes, the tattoos that you press against your skin with a damp sponge! You can find garden-appropriate, botanical designs that will look like they were painted on your stone bird bath and pots. For example, these LSTLQHX Temporary Tattoos of Gypsophila are elegant and easy to apply. Adhere the tattoos around the base of your bird bath or pot to give the appearance that the flowers are climbing up the sides.

After applying the temporary tattoos, make sure to spray them with a UV protectant and waterproof coating, like the Scotchgard Sun and Water Shield. This will ensure the tattoos aren't immediately washed away. Beyond the typical floral designs, you can opt for different tattoos that more closely match your style. For example, go with red roses to achieve a more gothic appearance. The Tatodays Sheets of Large Rose Tattoos are dramatic and pigmented. On the opposite side of the spectrum, these Tazimi X-Ray Temporary Tattoos are delicate and watercolor-inspired. When it comes to choosing your design, the possibilities are endless. This hack is one of many creative ways to use decor tattoos that you haven't tried yet.

To take your bird bath or flower pot to the next level, you can also add colorful inlays and mosaics by gluing glass marbles in the shape of your choice. For a complete custom look, you can create a genuine mosaic surface by molding your own cement bird bath bowl and inlaying mosaic pieces before it dries. Another option is to add a layer of concrete just in the center of the bowl, adorning the interior with mosaic marbles. There are tons of ways to personalize your garden decor pieces, depending on your level of DIY expertise and how involved you want the craft to be.
