Turning the garden into an amazing oasis is the dream of every homeowner. However, many people claim that they cannot find the right items that they could decorate their garden with neither on online stores, nor at local shops, while others say that the prices for these decorating items are too high for their budget. In case you are one of those persons, you might want to think of designing your own decorating items for your garden. Look for craft supplies you might need on the Internet, grab other things you have around your house that you do not use them anymore and embark on a DIY project right away.

Have more plants in your garden

Gardens are more beautiful if they are filled with flowers of different colours and sizes. Flowers give a unique aspect, no matter what the environment they are in is like. However, instead of planting them along the alley, you might want to think of a different method to embellish your garden. Take a look in your garage and see whether there are some old tires there or not, and if you have thought about throwing them away, you should think it twice. Apply a fresh coat of paint, let them dry and you can use them as flowerpots. You can even ask your child to help you with this and let them design something on those tires.

Enlighten the garden

Spending time in the garden, on a late summer evening is one of the most relaxing and rewarding experience, because everything is silent and you hear nothing but the sounds of crickets chirping. In order to benefit from some quality time in your garden, you have to think of ways to enlighten it and in case you do not want to spend too much money on expensive lightning systems, you might want to think of other alternatives. The best way is to create something by yourself. All you need are some jars, some white paint and some thin rope. Wrap the rope around the jar and make sure the rope is not moving at all. Then, apply a coat of white paint over the rope in order to cover the whole jar with it. After the paint has dried out, remove the rope and enjoy the result. You can place some small candles into the jar the moment you spend time in your garden. Besides having the satisfaction that the lightning is made by you, these jars will also create a more intimate atmosphere.

Design a pond

In order to bring a unique touch to your garden, you can create a pond and design it the way you want. It is true that this project might take you some time and for this reason, it is recommended to dedicate an entire day to it, but you will agree to the fact that it is everything worth it in the end. You can do some research online to see what things you might need for your pond and start working on it right away.
