Interesting ideas for giving: step-by-step instructions

Tree path

Of course, in the garden always many paths, so why not make them extra decorative, using design as the basis of beauty? Already in the photo you can see that it looks incredibly beautiful! You do not need to buy additional materials, you will need ordinary wooden boards. You also need a shovel, a hammer, a tape measure and a saw, a rake and sand. Such tracks can be painted and varnished at will (this will increase the service life, as well as visually improve the paths).

Unnecessary boards need a lot, so you can additionally ask them from your neighbors. The process begins with the need to cure a shallow path in which the boards will fit. To align the path inside, now put it inside the board. Even without additional processing, the path will serve faithfully for several years, if the boards are pre-painted and varnished, then the service life will increase at least twice.

Advice! For greater decorativeness and originality, the path can be sprinkled with a small layer of sand or gravel. Be sure to tamp the ground or sand into the space between the boards.

Flower vases from cans

Ideas for DIYing things made from improvised materials and unnecessary things cannot be imagined without such a product. For work, you need cans, preferably a large size, a clothesline. You also need a hammer and nails, paint. In each jar, make several holes for days, and make a couple of holes on the sides. You need to put the cans on the rope, and then tie at each end around the corner.

The rope is now stretched to the fence, to the bushes or even to the outer wall of the house. Please note that previously the jars can be painted in different colors, varnished, painted, if desired. In banks to plant flowering, ornamental, climbing plants.

From plastic bottles

To create such crafts, you need empty plastic bottles and scissors, you also need caps from plastic bottles, hot glue and toy eyes (if you don’t have it at hand, you can draw with a marker). Such necessary crafts for summer cottages can be done with children - it turns out fabulous flower pots.

Cut the bottom from a large plastic bottle, glue the eyes and nose (use a plastic stopper for the nose). Make holes in the bottom so that, after planting there and when watering it, water can be safely removed.

Fellings of trees

Landscape designers such flower beds have been exploited for a long time and look incredibly expensive and beautiful, although you can do them yourself. It will be necessary to find logs of dried trees, make a depression inside (use a hammer, a chisel). Now in the resulting space to fill the earth and plant flowers.

Advice! Interesting flower beds on the same principle can be made in an old leaky boat, in a wooden wheelbarrow, even in an old bowl, pan or teapot.Some of the decorative flower beds that look great on the site even use old rubber boots (if they are black, but additionally painted).

Stone path

Interesting ideas for giving with your own hands can be made of stones. For example, garden design often requires original tracks. At the very beginning of this material it was considered that they can be made of wood. But, look at the photo - beautiful paths can be made, including from stones.

To work, you need a special fabric that goes into the design of the garden so that the tracks do not deform quickly under the influence of moisture ("agrofabric"). You also need a shovel, a rake, sand and gravel, boards, a mallet, the stones themselves, of course. As in the case of working with wood, a shallow trench initially digs, not more than 10 cm, look at the photo. There will be a track in it.

Advice! Additionally, on the sides, you can put boards that will be used as borders. But this is not necessary, and if time is short, then proceed immediately to the construction of the shake.

Visual design has not yet begun, because you need to think through the practical parts. Cover the fabric in a trench, and then pour sand 3 cm further. Pour gravel from above and distribute everything evenly on the surface. Now stack the stones. If there are no stones at hand, then the design will look beautiful also when using bricks or even fragments of old tiles. To keep the stones firmly, use a rubber mallet. Close up the gaps with earth.

Climbing plant support

In the photo, the design of the sites where there are such supports looks especially luxurious. Such a support can be attached to a fence or wall, especially if there is not enough free space for flowers on the site, but you want everything to be fragrant and bloomed throughout the season.

To work, you need high branches and twine, as well as scissors. Spread the branches on the ground, distributing them at the same distance from each other. Bind the remaining branches to the opposite ends using twine. When the work is finished, tie the twine, tighten the knot on one side and extend it to the next branch, do this with all the material. It remains to lean the ready support against a wall or fence and plant plants that will actively curl upwards on a twine, as happens on thematic photos to this article. Design with such supports looks incredibly impressive.

For a garden from improvised materials many things can be donethat will delight the eye. Look at the photo how incredible, interesting and beautiful such products can be. Garden design requires viewing a large number of photos in order to accurately and confidently decide what you want to do for yourself.
