Tuesday Tutorial ----- Picnic Accessories

Since it is picnic time I thought these tutorials for picnic accessories would come in handy.

I love this net food cover.   Don't you just hate having to put up with flies.   Instructions are on A Spoonful of Sugar.

You won't have to worry about the napkins blowing away if you make this diy napkin holder found on Martha Stewart. 

 How about this insulated picnic tote found on Sew Mama Sew. 
It does double duty as a cold food grocery tote.  

And finally,  how about a quilt to sit on.  This one is water resistant by Centsational Girl.

Trash To Treasure ----- Chair Garden

Look at what you can do with an old chair you no longer have a use for.   

You can find the directions on how to make one of these garden chairs on http://www.bhg.com/

Basically you paint your chair.

 Cut a hole in the middle of the seat.   Add chicken wire and line with coconut fiber and you are ready to plant your favorite flowers in your chair.

Thanks for visiting today.    Now go find that old chair and get busy making one of these for yourself.
