I've been debating what to do with my sidelights since I moved into our house. Wanting to keep some degree of privacy while letting in light was my goal. Here's what I came up with using frosted vinyl and my Silhouette Cameo cutting machine.

A Quicker and Easier Way to Stepping Stones

I recently read somewhere about a quick way to make stepping stones and decided to try it. The more I thought about what I read, I realized I could do it even 'quicker and easier'. So I did.

  • First, I put in an upside-down pot with a drainage hole to take up a little interior space.  Not too big, though.  Leave enough space for the plant!
  • One, good sized plant with room to grow will do.  It looks every bit as beautiful as a mixed container!

  • #1 - Use as many free materials in your landscape as you can. Every part of the world has at least one thing in abundance that you can use for free, be it gravel, rocks or stones; wood, pallets or pine needles; dumpsters, landfill sites or Craig's List and Freecycling networks as cheap sources for repurposed items. Find out what's in your own neighbourhood or town and use it!  I've used my local freecycling network to find plants and shrubs for free. I got a whole lilac hedge that way, it really works!!

  • If a fence is at the maximum height allowed, another option is to put a taller structure within the yard like this one. There were townhouses in the yard behind and this really helped obscure the view. 4

  • You can make a fence taller! Here the fence posts were extended and lattice was added. Vines will eventually fill it in.
