A seasonal DISPLAY
Woman's Weekly Living Series|October 2020
This is a great weekend project to turn old crates and boxes into an amazing garden feature
TERESA CONWAY
A seasonal DISPLAY

MATERIALS & EQUIPMENT

Any combination of:

Assortment of different-sized wooden boxes and crates

Outdoor paint

Pots and outdoor objects for displaying such items as seed heads, jugs, pots, watering cans.

A sheltered wall against which to stand your display

A project like this is perfect for someone with no DIY skills whatsoever. No tools are needed to put it together and all that is needed is a little creativity. A lick of paint will bring the display together nicely, but even that is not essential.
