Top 26 Outdoor DIY Ideas

It’s that time of year again...you’re hosting a few outdoor shindigs at your house and you want your yard to look extra cute. To add a little pizazz to your outdoor space, I’ve put together a list of DIYs you can try and most of them can be done in just a few hours and on a small budget {I mean wouldn’t you rather spend a little more on the sangria you’re going to serve than the outdoor decor}.

It’s For the Birds . . .

While cruising around Pinterest looking for outdoor decor ideas, I came upon quite a few ideas of things to make to attract and entertain our winged friends. From birdbaths to birdhouses to birdfeeders, there’s an instructional blog post for just about everything. Here are just a few that I will probably be adding to our outdoor area:

Stop and Smell the Roses {or whatever kind of flowers you’d like} . . .
We all love to add a little bit of color to our yards but not everyone has the greenest of thumbs or the best soil conditions to grow the flowers that we absolutely love. That's where potted seasonal flowers come in handy. Whether you just bring them home from the garden center and plop the plastic pots into prettier ones or you take the time to de-pot them, adding some colorful flowers to your surroundings can be just the ticket to livening up that plain front porch or backyard. Here are a few that caught my eye:

4.Cottage at the Crossroads 5.Positively Splendid

6.Southern Scraps 7.Bower Power 8.Fancy Frugal Life
