You would like to realize a DIY project for the outdoors? Don’t worry, they don’t have to be overly complicated or expensive to be just as beautiful. Here are 6 inspiring small DIY projects to instantly enhance the look of your terrace, patio or garden area.
1. Easy Bistro Table
Here is a fairly easy DIY project, which requires two painted wood pallets and three paving stones.
2. Old Strainer Flower Basket
If you have an old colander lying around, why not give it a second life? You can use rope or chain (available at any hardware store) to tie up the handles. To prevent the potting soil from escaping through the holes, you can put a layer of cheesecloth at the bottom of the colander before adding the soil.
