Oh! What's that?! ....oops...
Not all of this is recycled, but I found this pallet at my church and it sparked this idea.
I'm not crafty at all, but hey, everyone has a spark of greatness once in a while..... I just used mine up though. lol
The only thing not recycled here is the pieces inside. Bought those at Dollar tree.
The corn stalks I used from my garden.

Great idea!

People try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved

There are a lot of great ideas here,I definitely have to try them out.When I was doing my spring cleaning this year I had a lot of yard waste but I gave them to a neighboring junk removal company called red bins to have it recycled.There are actually a lot of innovative things you could do to make your garden more attractive and you can save a lot of money at the same time.Recycling is applicable at home too.

Welcome! violet

I have to learn to actually do the projects and not just collect the parts and pieces..I have one electrical chandelier and one made for candles intended for the garden..both meant to hang under an overhead tree canopy...needing paint at a minimum....a section of fence that I want to paint some old women on and use as a backdrop for a daisy patch. Several iron poles meant to hang pots from but I want to hang glass balls .. there is an old maple chair out there that needs a hole in its seat to set a pot for geraniums... there needs to be a rule..if it is not done in a year...out it goes! πŸ˜† at 40 and 50.. there was time..as I age..I feel the need to hurry and get it done or dump it!

I was just looking at garden things on Pinterest. This is an easy idea to do and it's pretty cute!

They are both so cute, and you are very creative! You could sell those if you took them to a garden center.
