Grab a blue Dollar Store pot for this BRILLIANT new porch idea!

grab a couple of larger sized plastic planter pots and a clear round tray flip one of the pots over and hot glue the bottom of this pot to the bottom of the other pot grab a wire mesh trash can from the Dollar Store take a remote controlled Puck Light these are available at Amazon and attach to the inside bottom of the trash can now flip the trash can upside down and hook one end of the chain to one side of the basket bottom next take a length of greenery Garland and cut it into roughly 12in pieces now take some florist wire and start to wire the Garland pieces to the [Music] top pick up two matching plastic pots from Dollar Tree drill holes into the bottom of each for drainage then use some hot glue to glue them together pick up some of this rope use it with hot glue and coil it around I'm choosing to create an oval you could also create a circle depending on the space I used seven coils of jute grab the tumbling Tower game from the toy section you can leave these as is I chose to add a light stain to mine I'm creating a flat base with four of the blocks glue them together with wood glue so they really hold up then I'm going to add legs to the outside I've created a couple different heights with the legs ran down to the dollar store and picked up some pool noodles I cut them in half lengthwise I made sure to cut the pool noodles to the length of the bench seat and I secured it in place using a staple gun at this point I also added some fabric I chose Outdoor Fabric because I knew that my bench was going outdoors I secured this in place as closely as I could to the bottom of the pool noodle put the fabric over that piece and secured that piece again and I continued this pattern of noodle fabric noodle fabric so that I could create tufted channels and the fabric would look like it goes all the way down in between the different pool noodle pieces when I got to the end of the bench I again took that last piece of pool noodle wrapped it around the the back edge of the wood and secured it in place now I needed to add the legs I had ordered these legs off of Amazon all I had to do was Secure them in place using the screws that came in the Box I grabbed one basket and 10 of these wooden pieces I set to work staining them using these easy staining cloths once they were dry I set up two of the wooden pieces vertically and then I added the rest of my wooden pieces horizontally used some 1-in nails and put those in place I had purchased these 4 in house numbers I nailed these into place the next thing I did to finish it up was to add some pretty flowers I have got these melamine plastic plates I just picked up at the dollar store I've also got a couple of these larger silver color plate that's isce of Purple alcohol I've just cleaned the plate with that I'm going to take a little bit of alcohol here here I'm just going to squirt it onto the plate and then I've got these really lovely going to drop a little bit on here and I'm just going to move this around a bit to start with alcohol on there there we go here we go a little bit more of that you can use a hair dryer or a heat gun just going to go around and around in circles and just see if we can get some nice kind of edges okay now because this is alcohol ink I'm actually going to seal it with this Kar varnish the second version that I'm going to do on these little plates is I'm actually going to use these stick and style stencil this I've already coated with a second coat of paint okay let's take this stencil off and see how it looks our third technique that we're going to create on these place is going to be we're going to go full Jackson Pollock next up we're going to use this Silver Bullet exactly the same I think we can do that on one of our smaller ples grab a Dollar Tree solar light and one of those tall glass vases put the base of the solar light into the vase and then fill around it with some decorative stones remove the top of a solar light and wrap some floral wire around it to create a swing place this inside a paper [Music] lantern grab a few small clay pots place a solar light into the middle and fill around it with stones to hold it in [Music] place grab a larger planter place a few solar lights in it and then fill around it with rocks today we're working with pool noodles first you want to cut the pool noodle in half to Slit them right down the center and then we're going to fold our noodle open so I'm going to cut this all the way through and then I'm going to turn these upside down so I'm going to put my glue this is cool melt so it's not super super hot and then you're going to place that okay so now I'm attaching the second piece and we will insert our third piece okay our glue is dry so now I'm going to trim off the ends we are now going to put a tray on here and we're going to decorate it cut 2 in sections of our pool noodle we're going to have one in the center and six around the outside and we're going to place it on the top you want to cut all the way around cut that small piece out of my noodle and then your candle will fit in there just like this now I'm going to connect them I'm using a hot glue gun but it is on a low temperature I have a big rubber band in my hand and I'm going to put that around here and let this dry head over to your local Walmart and grab a few sprigs of greenery I placed the pool noodle next to the top of the planner and mark the line then I cut the pool noodle with a knife to the mark after that I place the pool noodle pieces along with some empty water bottles inside the planter to keep everything in the center and weighted down then I plac the sprigs of faux Greenery inside the holes of the pool noodles and fluffed it all out grab some solar lights from Dollar Tree to create this outdoor decor I'm going to grab a pool noodle as well I'm going to cut this into small 1-in sections and then I'm going to paint three of those sections a really dark black color I picked up this really heavy metal candle holder from a thrift store now I'm going to put it all together then I can grab my solar lights pull off that bottom I don't need that and I can glue each of the lights into the center of the pool noodle grab a solar light pull off the steak we don't need that part then use some hot glue to add it to a metal sconce I picked these up at the thrift store they're nice and heavy then use a screw hook in a fence or a deck and hang the scan's outside we are going to start with seven of these bowls you're also going to need some E6000 just basically go around you're going to place it on top we're going to do this again so I'm going to give these a little bit of time to cure I'm going to be taking my 6,000 I'm going to go around the top of this stack it on top and we're going to do this one more time I am using Dixie Bell vintage duck egg chalk paint so I'm actually going to use E6000 for this step line it up and then we're going to let that sit until it dries and we are going to trace around the inside of the of the hole that I created you actually will not need to paint the underside just the sides and the top I'm going to start with the bottom part tilt that up so we are going to take a solar light placing it over put the top part of our solar light and it's going to Nestle right in headed down to my local Dollar Tree I'm going to start with these glass beads I'm going to also head over and get some rubbing alcohol next I grabbed this bowl got it from Home Depot going to grab some sand start putting it in the bottom so you want to fill it up to where when you get your bowl you're going to kind of be level with the top and it has a firm foundation let's go ahead and start putting some more sand in so that it holds it in place to level it out make sure that bowl is firm we don't want any spillage or that thing moving when we light it up go ahead and put the metal Bowl in and then remember those glass beads and start placing them all the way around take that rubbing alcohol and pour a little bit in there give it a little bit of a flame and it's going to light right up [Music]
