Friday Faves: Beautiful Backyard DIYs

Be inspired by these beautiful and easy-to-create backyard crafts and DIY projects.Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of beautiful backyard DIYs that have been really inspiring. There are so many creative ideas out there that I would love to try my hand at, but I would need more hours in the day!  Thank the Lord for Pinterest!  I just end up pinning and pinning and hoping to find the time to do some of them one day.

In the meantime, allow me to share some of my favourite backyard DIYs to inspire you too.

I absolutely adore this DIY Citrus Wreath.  Why save all your wreaths for your front door? I say give your backyard some love with this geometric beauty.

Okay, I gotta say that this one stood out to me because of how inventive it is – DIY Dyed Bamboo Placemats.  I just love the juxtaposition of the raw wood table with these pops of colour.

      One of the best parts of having a place to call “home” – whether it’s a house, an apartment, or just a rented room – is the decorating! Whether it’s just a series of mini cacti plants, a wreath on the door, or a full-fledged patio dining room set, the possibilities are endless!
