1) A dress form makes a sturdy canvas for a crafty air garden. Weave succulents into the mesh of the shapely figure.
2) Echoes of “Goldfinger”. You won’t kill a mannequin if you paint it gold, cover it with an exterior grade clear finish, and add a few decorative items. It makes a pretty garden ornament.
3) Half torso, half Christmas tree!
4) Paint one red and put it spectacularly in your garden.
