How-to build a planter stand from scrap wood & an old rim...
Grow Vegetables in Your Backyard
This post will show you how to make your own plantar boxes and fill them with good organic soil, all on the cheap!
I've always wanted to grow my own food, and this summer Im actually starting! The first day after I got home from school my dad and I went to Home Depot and got some pressure treated lumber to build a couple plantar boxes for our backyard. We decided on boxes that were 6 feet long, 2 feet deep, and 1 foot high, all made out of 2x12 lumber.
This size made buying the wood nice too because we could just get two 12 foot lengths to make all four 6 foot pieces, and then one 8 foot piece to make the four 2 foot side pieces. We also got one 8 foot 2x4 to use as bracing material for the corners. All of the wood cost about 90 dollars.
Once we had the wood, we started construction!
Keep Your Pets Safe with a DIY Paracord Harness
A normal collar is fine for taking your dog on a short walk, but for serious hiking, he'll be safer and more comfortable in a full body harness. Before you run out and buy one though, try to make your own with paracord.Instructables user mymyjames2000 shows you how easy it can be. You'll just need some paracord, plastic buckles, and a candle. He shows you how to properly tie the paracord into a harness, attach the buckles securely, and fuse the loose ends of the cord with a candle to prevent them from fraying. It doesn't look too difficult, but it does require lots of fairly complicated knot tying, so be sure to set aside some time before taking this on. Once you're finished, the harness will fit snugly around your pet's midsection and neck to distribute the tension of your leash more evenly.Paracord Pet Harness | InstructablesDragon Wagon
We like to go to the local reinassance fair and some of our group dress up when we go. This was going to be the first trip with our one year old son, so we wanted to make it special. I had seen several versions of wagons and carriages for kids out at the fair or on the internet, but wanted to do our own version of a dragon wagon. My mom and dad helped out with this project so I have to give them props on the final product. They also helped keep my kiddo entertained while I did a lot of the cutting, pinning and sewing of fabric. It took us a total of 3 months working off and on to make 2 of these. The first one was a lot of trial and error, but once we had a pattern and idea of what we were doing, the second one came together very quickly. I haven't seen one like what we created anywhere and hope you like it.
We used a radio flyer comfort wagon model that has a canopy for the base of our build. My parents got one brand new for about $160.00, but I found mine for a steal on craig's list for $45.00. I had a lot of the fabric on hand and frequent the local thrift stores and get lucky finding all kinds of sewing items. I had the paint and brushes on hand and my parents had the high density foam leftover from fixing their couch. We got out on the cheap for this project, but if I had to guess a ballpark cost it would be about $100.00 each cover. Our prototype was the green dragon, and we had a lot of trial and error. But here are the supplies we used. I think I got them all in the pictures, but may have left off some items. You can probably find all of these supplies at your local craft store. I used upholstery and heavy canvas fabric to make sure it would be durable and survive some wear and tear. The wire and spray paint I got frome Lowes.
