The Found Object Project

Since the weather was lovely for the first time in a LONG time this weekend, I decided to build a small fence around my raised garden. I saw some pre-made fencing at Fred Meyers and decided to try my hand at a similar fence using materials from my own backyard. Buying the fencing new from the store would have run me upwards of $60-70! Our new frugal lifestyle does not support such luxuries. That is where creativity comes in handy.


At first it looked shoddy and ghetto and i hated it, but once I began weaving in the side rails it started to become more charming. I secured it in random spots with green gardening tap,e and by the end of the project, I had a pretty cute (and surprisingly sturdy) little garden fence. the best part? it was FREE.


outdoor crafts? pretty delightful.
