3. Garden “Doorstop” Animals

Because bricks are heavy, they make excellent doorstops for breezy spring days. Turning them into cute animals like ladybugs, bumblebees, or frogs adds a whimsical touch to any doorway.

  • Materials: Glossy outdoor paint, googly eyes (optional).
  • Steps:
    • For a ladybug, paint the whole brick red.
    • Add a black “T” shape and black dots.
    • Finish with a friendly face at one end.
