DIY crafts with wood: they are the best way to decorate and personalize the garden.

So here's how, even those who are DIY beginners can try their hand at simple works to create a bench, a pathway, or a raised planter and thus give a personal touch, genuinely tailored to their garden. Below are some ideas from which to decorate with simple and adorable DIY jobs.

If you want to create a passageway inside a flower bed, so that you never step on plants or bulbs and still allow you to move easily through the greenery, a small wooden pathway is an affordable idea. Even recycled wood can be used, as long as it is primed with stain and waterproofing products so that it will last. Plus, there are also ideas for decorating wood, perhaps with lettering to be created with custom stencils!
Borders: sometimes we get worried about looking for particular stones and bricks, when even scrappy pieces of wood shaped and painted (those from pallets for example) can look great, as in this case.
Want a spot to sit comfortably or rest objects on? A sturdy bench like this one made of bricks and wooden beams is super easy to make, and goes with just about any setting!
Browsing online, then, you can find a thousand ideas for benches with more sophisticated designs, perhaps more modern or more rustic, or even made to accommodate - in the seat - pots for plants. So they will be both decorative planters and comfortable seats!

With wood, again, you could create wall dividers, to divide spaces or create privacy, which also serve as excellent vertical planters, for flower or aromatic pots with which to decorate as you like.
Do you want to grow some plants, even vegetables, vines or those that need support to lean on anyway? Building pyramid trellises like this one is not difficult!
And if you were looking for a planter to put outside the entrance, even a simple model like this one can make a great impression.

And for a design that is a little unconventional, but very beautiful and, above all, efficient in its use of space, a raised spiral flower bed would be a detail to be admired in any garden.
