3. Create Whimsical Garden Signs with Terra Clay Paint
Add a unique, personal touch to your garden by creating your own garden signs with Terra Clay Paint. This paint is perfect for wood and terra cotta surfaces and provides a rich, matte finish.

4. Enhance Wood Decor with Voodoo Gel Stain
If you have wooden pieces such as birdhouses, trellises, or fences that need a refresh, Voodoo Gel Stain is an excellent product to give them a fresh look. The gel stain enhances the natural grain of the wood while adding a deep, rich color. Options like Tobacco Road, Bleached Cypress, and Charred Hickory will complement any garden setting.
To use:
- Lightly sand the wooden surface to prepare it for staining.
- Apply Voodoo Gel Stain with a brush or cloth.

6. Add a Touch of Patina to Your Garden Decor
For a weathered, antique look, Patina Paint and the Patina Finishing Spray are perfect for adding aged charm to any garden decor. Whether it’s a metal planter, a garden trellis, or even an outdoor sculpture, Patina creates a stunning, aged finish that enhances the rustic beauty of your garden.
Project Idea: Creating Patina Planters
- Start with a planter or any garden decor.
- Apply a base coat of Dixie Belle’s Patina Paint in your chosen color (Copper, Bronze, or Iron).
- Once the Patina Paint is dry, apply a second coat to the spots where you want the patina effect and add the Patina Spray while the paint is wet. Depending on the color of the Patina Paint used, you’ll see beautiful aging effects like a greenish patina on copper or a rusted finish on iron.
- Allow the pieces to dry completely. You’ll notice that the more you spray, the more unique and weathered the look becomes.
- Protect your project and stop the patina by applying a layer of Patina Guard.
This DIY project will add a vintage, antique feel to your garden while complementing the natural elements of your outdoor space.
