Fun Glow in the Dark Stepping StonesThis DIY project is perfect for anyone who wishes to turn their backyard into a fairytale forest and give it a whole new magical appearance. Not to mention that it’s probably much simpler than you think. The first step is to get glow in the dark pigment. After you’ve done that, you’re going to need to mix it with grout and just paint that mixture over the stones. Once you’ve finished painting over the stones, the pigment is going to absorb light and all you have to do is wait for night to fall and the magic to begin.

Do Fun Landscapes with Potted PlantsDigging up your yard to make borders or plant beds probably sounds like a great idea, but it might actually be more of a problem if you don’t have much yard space, to begin with. A simple solution for that could be to make fun landscapes with potted plants. You can place them however you like and try out all sorts of plants and planter shapes.

Make A Fire PitBuilding your own fire pit is much more cost-efficient and way more fun to do. It’s an avid solution if you’re planning on inviting your friends over for a party in your backyard.

Make A Cool Tire Coffee TableEven though this might seem a bit unusual, there is nothing more magical than creating something out of materials that serve a completely different purpose. For this project, you will need tires, pain as well as a glass top. All you will want to do is paint the tires a colour that you like and stack them on top of each other. All you need to do after that is put a glass top on it and you have a table.

Create a PathHaving a little path in your yard can make it much easier to navigate through it, especially if you have a wide space to cover. A path also helps if you want to avoid people stepping on your lawn. You can build a path in amazing ways and incorporate all kinds of intricate designs.

Make A Pallet Swing BedIf you like hammocks but that is too mainstream and you have some pallets lying around and an extra mattress and make yourself a pallet swing bed. Once you have assembled the body of the swing all you need to do is find a sturdy branch in your yard and hang it up.
