Thrifty woman turns old wooden pallets into amazing flower wall planters for her garden
LOCKDOWN has given many DIY fans an opportunity to spruce up their gardens.
One thrifty woman has done just that - by turning old pallets into amazing wall planters for her flowers.
In a post on Facebook group , the social media user called Sarah shared before and after pictures of her project.
She had cut up the wood, painted the pieces and nailed them to the side of a shed above a pretty flower bed before filling them with more shrubs.
The woman wrote: "Transformed an old pallet into this.
"Looks beautiful even if I do say so myself."
Her post was popular with fellow group members who left more than 1,400 'likes'.
One person commented: "What a great idea."
Another wrote: "I must get some pallets! It's great."
A third shared: "Brilliant!"
And a fourth added: "Beautiful."
It comes after a bloke was praised by his grateful wife for achieving such a feat - by creating a stunning outdoor bar on a budget.
In a post on the same Facebook group, a DIY fan called Helen, showed how her other half had put some "tatty old pallets" to good use in their garden.
Looks beautiful even if I do say so myself.

The social media user shared pictures of the amazing results - a very professional-looking bar painted in pale lilac and grey, and finished off with eye-catching vanity-style lights.
Captioning the images, she wrote: "Seen a few posts in here of people who have made things out of pallets so wanted to share my hubby’s latest creation!
"Wasn’t sure what to think when he bought home some tatty old pallets and said he wanted to make a bar but I love it. Paint and lights all from Wilko."
