Woman reuses wooden pallets to make flower planters - and it looks 'amazing'

With the British weather brightening up in lockdown, people are turning to their garden to keep themselves preoccupied.

Whether you're transforming your garden into a football pitch like one man, or giving it a complete makeover like this woman, there's always something you can do to keep yourself busy - whilst catching those rays.

Another woman managed to spruce up her garden, without even having to spend a penny.

Sarah upcycled an old wooden pallet that she had lying around into a wall planter for her flowers - and it was much easier than you think.

She started out by dismantling the pallet and cutting up the wood, so that she had three parts to put flowers in, and a few other slats to join them together.

Once she had successfully finished that, she painted all of the pieces a dark grey to match her shed.

Then, she nailed them to the side of her shed, and filled them with soil and flowers.

The savvy woman shared the smart idea to the Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and budgeting UK.

She wrote: "Transformed an old pallet in to this looks beautiful even if I do say so myself", and a number of people agreed.

The post received 2,200 likes and over 500 comments from people praising her idea.

One person said: "Thanks for the idea as have a pallet".

Another commented: "It looks amazing".

A third said: "Great idea".

"What did you put inside the pallet to stop the plants falling?" a fourth asked, with which the lady revealed: "I put wood and black liner in every section".
