I jazzed up my garden for free – people are stunned when they discover how… it looks totally amazing
A WOMAN has revealed how she jazzed up her garden for free, leaving many very impressed.
Alexandra Chard Boampong, from the UK, used two wooden pallets that she got for free, to make her very own chair.
The DIY fan took to TikTok, where she posts under the username @afialexiss, to show off the step-by-step process of making her own chair.
She said: “When life gives you FREE PALLETS just FLIP IT.
“And an outdoor seat to finish the garden, all made from free PALLETS and Free FOAM.”
She then added: “When you’ve just built your own summer seating from free pallets.
“So this summer I decided to put all my pallets into use and not waste them.
“And so this time we are making a chair, yeah, we’re making an outdoor chair bench.
“So I decided to use two pallets for this project.
“So I cut this pallet into pieces. I did a lot of nailing at the back to make sure this chair or bench is very secure and very strong.”
Alexandra shared a clip of her putting the pallets together, as she continued: “I’ve had visitors try this bench and they like it and it looks good to them anyway.
“So these palettes were all free and also I got the foam for the bench, which was also free, I got it on Facebook and so I cut it to the size I wanted.
“I used a Cuprinol paint in the colour natural stone.”
