Reweaving porch chairs

They'd held up for over 13 years. I never took them in through rain, snow, cold or heat. So, I was determined to give them new life or a face-lift.  I got the idea from Zest It Up.

I bought plastic cording from Dollar Tree.

I began perhaps 2 years ago and never finished. I used clothes pins to keep the weave tight. Those clothes pins also weathered nicely and were still useable.
YES, I KNOW the weaves are going in an opposite direction. After two years you learn what's easier. 
                                         Besides,
I plan to place cushions in the seats when they're in use. 
I'm pleased with the outcome. A project that cost about $10 and a box of matches.
That's it ***

Planters from recycled containers

From previous posts you know I like to recycle and upcycle.

The plan was to present this in Power Point but that didn't work out after hours of work. So just read the slides.











THAT'S IT***
