I’m going to share a few of my favorite DIY projects for the outdoors then I selected a project from each of my Thrift Store Decor teammates to share.

Be sure and visit the rest of the team to see their favorite outdoor DIYs. I’m curious to see which of my projects they liked the best!

I always smile when I run upon a piece of vintage graniteware……especially if it has a little rusty patina. The blue water dipper is the perfect plant pot. You can find more ideas from this porch decor post here.

From Pam at House of Hawthornes, I fell in love with her thrifty planter idea.

What’s not to love about the turquoise seeder/fertilizer spreader? The flowers set in the bucket area perfectly. You can find her other yard sale finds turned garden decor here.

And the succulent birdbath planter from Kristin, My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia, is on my list of projects to do.

Watch my video below on how I painted a vintage glider using a spray painter….

How about repurposing a bowling ball into a gazing ball for your garden. Gail, My Repurposed Life, turned these bowling balls into works of art. See her project here.

And how about the tray table Christy, Our Southern Home, put together from two thrifty finds! See her complete tray table tutorial here.

One last project from me and we can take the tour of outdoor/garden, lawn ideas.

I painted an ugly plastic thrift store watering can with metallic paint then decoupaged a floral party invitation to the front of the can. See the tutorial here.
