Summer projects

PROJECT 1 GIANT PEG BENCH

Don’t be hung out to dry when you’re looking for a spot to enjoy your garden – build a bench that wouldn’t look out of place in an art gallery. Built in the shape of a humble clothes peg, it’s made using basic treated pine sleepers. It looks so good that you’ll be torn between taking a seat or just standing back and admiring it. Even though it’s built in two sections, it’s still got a bit of weight to it, so make it close to where you’ll put it.

Macrame wall hanging

PROJECT 2 WALL JEWELLERY

Give the classic craft of macramé a timely twist with this project that takes the idea of the knotted wall hanging a step further. Head to the hardware store to get copper pipes, coils and a tee fitting, then use copper wire to attach them to balsa wood (used in model making) and suspend the whole design from macramé cord. Hang it anywhere you need a bit of bling!
