My sewing room is not the only place that has been furnished with upcycled items of late. My garden has also received the same treatment. Well a few wooden plant trays, not the whole garden. It gave my sister, niece and I the chance to get crafty together. To create our own personalised wooded garden trays.

No need to paint a coat of primer on these boxes, rustic is good. So straight on with a coat of paint which was then left it dry. Then using a pencil and stencil we all mark on our chosen words. We all also added our favourite extra stencil of an insect or fruit. I could not resist a gardening hashtag. Using a thin paint brush we all, with a steady hand, carefully painted over our writing. I think my niece did a fantastic job painting her strawberries and snail.

What great fun, and don't they look great! Why not paint a little fun into your garden.
Upcycling like this works really well for all sorts of garden decoration as well as practical items. Love this idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea! Great for something that the whole family can get involved in as well. I love the idea of upcycling as it breathes new life into something you may previously have just thrown away.
