Do you want to transform your garden? Do you think it needs to give it a touch of joy or color? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are in luck because Next we are going to give you some DIY ideas that will help you transform your favorite space in the home.
You will see that they are simple ideas, that once they decide to put into practice they can even ask for the collaboration of children. So do not hesitate to call your children to personalize them, letting themselves be carried away by their imagination 😉.
Cans turned into pots to bring a wall to life

Metal and plastic are some of the most resistant materials that exist over time, but that is precisely why it is highly recommended to give them the more useful lives the better. In fact, if you have cans or bottles you can turn them into great pots. You just have to make a hole in the base through which the water can come out, paint them to your liking and then plant small plants in them, such as geraniums, petunias, or carnations. Finally, you will only have to decide where to put them, such as hooked on the wall.
A teepee for the little ones
Children enjoy having their own "little house". Why not make them a tipi in the purest Indian style? It can look great in a corner of the garden, surrounded by greenery. In addition, to do this, you only need a few strips of resistant wood (such as pine) varnished, two of which must be joined by some aluminum squares. Once the structure is finished, it has to be covered with a laminated canvas which the little ones will surely enjoy decorating as they like using water-based paint.
Garden bench to relax
Trees, although they have a very long life expectancy, sooner or later come to an end. But far from being cut down and taken to the compost heap, they can continue to be remembered using their logs as benches. To do this, you have to treat them against fungi and insects with a specific product for wood (for sale No products found.), and after giving them several passes of varnish (for sale No products found.) and letting it dry completely, you can build a nice bench in your garden.
Stone path between plants

Doesn't it sometimes happen to you that you have certain problems to water well some plants that are far away? Or that you end up with shoes that are too dirty with mud? So that no more happens, a solution is to create a path of stones taken from the garden itself. These can be any size you like, but it is important that they are not excessively high / thick with respect to the level of the garden soil otherwise there could be a risk of tripping.
Bug hotel in a great corner
Insects are essential for the garden to overflow with health and life. While it is true that there are some that are potential enemies of plants, there are many more that are interesting to attract. One way to do this is by building a hotel for insects with wooden slats (can be with pallet slats) and dry grass. Decide first what structure and size it is going to have, and then get down to work. When you're done place it in the quietest area of your garden, if possible surrounded by plants that also attract them, such as aromatic ones or those that have showy and / or fragrant flowers, such as daisies, marigolds, or begonias.
Homemade drip irrigation to make better use of water
With plastic bottles you can do many things, including a home drip irrigation which it will allow you to keep the plants well hydrated for a while. To do this, you have to make 4-5 holes in the plug, cut the bottom part about 3 centimeters, and then bury the top part with the cover down next to the plant you want to water. Then it will only be necessary to fill the bottle with water 🙂.
Decorative elements in very special places
Often the most beautiful is the simplest. Thus, We recommend you put decorative elements in the most special or most unexpected corners. For example, figures of animals a little hidden in the bushes or garden gnomes welcoming the pool area, are things that will revitalize the garden even more, making it a very special place where you can spend wonderful moments, either alone. , or in the company of family and / or friends.
And with this we end the article. We hope you liked the ideas that we have proposed, and that you have a great time when you put them into practice. If you have more ideas, feel free to write them down in the comments.
