  • Suspend from tree branches or eaves... as with any candles, use caution :)
  • Use a moss colored yarn to tie your hoops in place. I used 8" hoops for this project.
  • Grab handful's of moss and squeeze it around the ring using the twine to wrap as you go until it's covered.
  • Suspend a jam jar inside the orb for a tea light.

  • This little sofa is the perfect size for our smaller covered patio. The oversized cushion from a futon sofa was wrapped with a painter's drop cloth making clean up an absolute breeze. 1
  • The random backing boards were intentionally staggered to show as different heights. Aren't the different tones eye catching?
  • Stamped board details were celebrated rather than hidden. The lettering on one arm is an added quirky perk in my book. And perfect to hold a requisite cup of fresh hot coffee.
  • It all started with landing a cushion from a thrift store for a whoppin' $10.

The framework was then built around the cushion's size. A dry fit was created to grasp a style.
  • Here are the measurements. If you can't make them out, the link to the original tutorial is at:

  • The base was then planked up, as well as a separate piece for the backer board. Since this sofa stays put, the backing simply leans on the house.
  • May I boast for a moment? Because this is really cool. This crazy little idea proceeded to win 1st prize in a Canada wide Upcycle Challenge and landed in Canadian Living magazine! Whoop!
  • Wish for even more creative outdoor sitting areas? Check out this post with 15 HomeTalk features! Is one of them you?

Make an outdoor pallet sofa that's comfy AND cute!

I didn't use my patio for about a year. Know why? Because it had a table and chairs on it. I just longed for a super comfy long term sit with a good book in hand. So I ditched the table ...»
and instead, went for supreme comfort... with a twist.

Not desiring the standard fare of what was for sale, I went about making my own comfy outdoor furniture. And the result? A pallet wood sofa that's not only comfortable, but pretty cute!

The secret to the comfort? It's all about the cushion. Read on for more...

  • Directions for making this cute container water garden can be found at http://www.aquascapeinc.com/index.php?page=articles&a_id=55. 2
  • A whimsical dripping pot adds fun to your garden. Add a glass globe for visual interest.
  • A simple fountain - but be forewarned - your dog will probably enjoy getting a drink here!
  • Got an old bathtub? Don't toss it ... stick it in the garden and fill it with aquatic plants and a fountain! 3
  • If you love waterlilies but don't have a pond, simply grow them in a water-tight container. Be sure they receive at least 6 hours of full sun. 1
  • Another whimsical fountain created with a teapot and cup. 11
  • Garden centers carry patio ponds made specifically for container water gardens.
  • You can always use a container you have on hand. This one was sealed to make it water tight. A few water lettuce plants float on top.

I made flowers out of various dishes and china. Plus metal pipe and I have really cute flowers!

Using window caulk instead of glue, just caulk pieces together. Add a flattened silver spoon to the back so the handle can go down in the hollow pipe to make them into flowers for you garden art!
