DIY Patio Ideas
Gravel Patio Idea
First things first, if you don’t even have a patio, or yours is in dire need of a refresh, start there. Amy at ‘Modern Chemistry at Home’ shows you how to make a simple pea gravel patio that anyone can do. You can kill a plot of grass to put this over, add it right over dirt, or even on top of an aging, cracked concrete patio. This DIY patio idea is inexpensive too! Don’t forget the edging they use, it makes this project look professional. You can also jump on over to our post DIY Patio Floor Ideas over at TGG.
Paver Patio
If you want a more solid surface, then follow the step-by-step directions for this DIY paver patio by ‘Crafted by the Hunts’. They make this a simple weekend project with all their photos and tips. They used porcelain pavers which make this patio look like an extension of the indoor space.
DIY Patio Lantern
Use old glass jars and an LED candle to create super gorgeous ambiance with these DIY patio lanterns by ‘Love, Create, Celebrate’. The hanger is simple macrame knots, and she has a how-to video to show you just how it is done. Inexpensive jute twine from the dollar store and recycled glass jars! So perfectly pretty!
