My mom plants flowers.
The deer say ‘thank you for the snack’ 🦌
So I made her a Mother’s Day gift to politely tell the deer… ‘eat somewhere else’ 😅🌸
Problem → solved
This is a multi layer hollow Apple which holds half a block of Irish Spring Soap. This repels deer wonderfully and doesnt cause any damage or harm to the soil,… however, she gets tired of Soap hanging everywhere. I designed this hollow apple with drainage holes top and bottom so that water will flow thru . I also designed a little soap shelf inside so the soap doesnt just sit in a puddle and dissolve. I also added several “bite holes” in the front cover for the smell of the soap to flow freely. Finally I made a few front plate options available including this adorable worm snacking on the apple.

Decide on a face plate, lay out file and cut it out from ¼” plywood

Lay out all pieces in numbered order to confirm fitment.
The apple slices (5, 8) just ahead and just behind the center hangars sections in should create drainange holes on the top and bottom when aligned and glued in place properly.



With all layers glued together in order, the drainage holes should be visible from top and bottom.
At this point, you can glue the soap shelf in place.



Finish it up with some super fun paint work; I like to use food coloring for my projects to remain as toxin free as possible. Finally lay a couple coats of clear on the finished project, hang it outside and keep moms gardens safe AND cute this spring!
