2. Convert a shed into a dining area
An open shed turns into a fabulous dining space. To do this, just add colorful chairs, a table and some flowers.
3. Cut out scarves to make a garland of pennants
All you have to do is cut a square bandana into a triangle. Then use hot glue to secure it to a rope. Pick a color you like and repeat until you get the perfect length.
4. Choose dual-use furniture
Looks like a sober and functional piece of furniture, doesn’t it? With its traditional styling, this tiered potting table is actually an ideal storage cabinet for any outdoor space. One day, use it to water the plants, and the next day as a side dish to serve cold drinks!

7. Turn a ladder into a garden
Not enough room to grow vegetables in your garden? Why not use a wooden ladder and some painted planks to make a raised garden? This is a great idea for turning a small area into a vegetable garden. You just have to place a few flower pots and boxes recycled into planters on top.
8. Make a brazier
Build a brazier by arranging the pavers in a circle. Perfect for building a fire safely and no mortar is even needed! And you don’t need more than 20 minutes to do it.
9. Hang a planter
Hang a shoe organizer on the fence palisade and grow herbs in the compartments. It’s a fun way to make a vertical garden.
10. Make a floating flower arrangement
Just before guests arrive, place floating candles and zinnias in a birdbath. Light the candles to create a magical atmosphere.
11. Invent a fairy and magical garden
Admittedly, the “fairy dust”, it is perhaps only sparkling sequins … but do not especially say it to the children! You can also mix up imaginary worlds by creating a mermaid-themed decoration.

Hanging a rake near the back door of the house, it’s handy for hanging hats, dog leash and your flower bouquets!

The Radio Flyer cars from your childhood can still be used as adults. Stacked on top of each other, the wagons become a pretty modern serving table for drinks. All that’s left to do is serve the mojitos!
21. DIY your own hanging planter
Plant your flowers in pretty, colorful colanders. The advantage is that you don’t have to worry about water drainage! Plus, just wrap a rope around the handles to make these planters quickly.
22. Build a raised vegetable garden
