Whether you’re a stay at home mum or like to keep yourself busy on the weekends, now’s the time to stop playing bingo online for 10 minutes and put your creative energies into making something great in your garden! Need some inspiration? Coming right up!
1. Build a really easy treehouse
Treehouse, you say? But I’m not a handyman or a carpenter? – Never fear, this is an almost idiot -proof, super easy treehouse design almost anyone can make. You will need a handful of DIY skills, tools and materials to assemble this treetop platform, but it’s definitely achievable if you find yourself with a free weekend. Perfect for future tree huggers.
2. Make a vertical plant hanger
A nice little project you can complete in an afternoon – and a great way to brighten up bare corners with greenery both inside and out. Get stuck in!
3. Beautify your fence with marbles
Another very simple DIY fandango which you can complete with drill, a fence and some marbles. And, unlike lots of other mini projects, this one looks really pretty and effective. Choose an East or West facing fence to make sure that the sun shines through your marbles as it rises or sets.
4. Set up an outdoor cinema
The perfect way to chill out on a warm summer evening. Invite family and friends, set up a projector screen, throw around cushions, blankets, cocktails and snacks – hey presto! A gorgeous night and some great cinema right in your back garden. Here are some helpful tips.
5. Dig a fire pit
Another great way to spend summer nights, roasting marshmallows around a fire pit in the back garden. It’s a fairly big feature, but it doesn’t have to be permanent. Easy to build and just as easy to dismantle. Here’s how it’s done.
6. Beautify your paving stones
There are lots and lots of creative ways to decorate your paving slabs, taking your garden from humdrum to magical in no time. From stencils to handmade concrete tiles spelling out your favorite quotes – just use your imagination!
