How pretty and clever. These little tools will certainly make gardening more fun, and just think about how they will look on your potting table. They are little works of art. I think it would be fun to paint a few matching pots and maybe even a small watering can. I believe I would spray the painted parts with a clear varnish to make sure it lasted.
