How To Make A Garden Bar With An Old Bed Frame

Depending on what time of the year, I look for cool, unique projects based on the season to work on. It’s summertime and I came across this YouTube video by Dainty Diaries and it’s something I have never heard of before. So many people are becoming more creative these days and I’m getting blown away. I have so many DIY projects piled on my list that I have to get to, and this is definitely one of them. I have an old bed frame that I need to get rid of at my parent’s house and I think making a garden bar would be ideal. This is a great way to recycle something that is just going to be thrown away.

Materials:

• old bed frames
• reclaimed wood
• fabric scissors
• Cuprinol garden paint
• nails
• screws
• bamboo screen

Directions:

First, you want to use your fabric scissors and to cut through the material, and take out any nails or tacks. If the wood is rough, sand it down to have a smooth finished so you don’t get a splinter.

Next, while you follow step-by-step with Dainty Diaries tutorial on Youtube, start putting the wood all around the bed frame to create an outer shell.

Finally, when you are finished watching the videos, you have yourself a garden bar made out of old bed frames. This is such an innovative idea, and I love how she made shelves on the inside to keep things stored away. This specific project is cool because if anything, most people wouldn’t think twice about recycling a bed frame. This is a great inspiration for a summer project for your backyard. I’m going to tell my best friend who just bought a new house to do this DIY so I can help her out.
