    Rustic Flower Box Relcaimed Fence
    Today’s projects are simple projects made with reclaimed fence. I love the weathered look, and the size of these boards. Some fence pieces are really lightweight, while others are heavier. It’s all a big surprise what you’ll end up with.

     

    Rustic Flower Box (2)I used Gorilla Wood Glue to help secure these pieces along with my brad nails from my nail gun. But this can easily be made without power tools. The boards can be cut with a hand saw, and put together with wood glue and small tacks.

    Rustic Flower Box (3)This was a simple project, and easily done since my shoulder is still not up to par.

    Rustic Flower Box A lot of people are using these type boxes as centerpieces. I staged mine with some dried hydrangeas.

    Rustic Flower Box I think the muted colors of the flowers work well with the weathered patina of the fence.

    Rustic Flower Box I purposely chose the original dog eared pieces for the ends.

    Rustic Tote:
    Rustic Tool Caddy I used dog eared pieces for each end of this caddy/tote, with a chair spindle for the handle.

    Rustic Tool Caddy This is the third tote I made, the other wooden totes from reclaimed fence were shorter, with one being long and the other being short. You can see the details of making one of these totes by visiting that link above.

    Rustic Tool Caddy I used a chair spindle for the handle.

    Rustic Tool Caddy Dried HydrangeasAgain, I staged it with the dried hydrangeas.
    Have YOU made a tote yet? or a flower box? If not, you should! Working with this reclaimed fence is so much fun, and it’s giving it new life, keeping it out of the garbage.

      Your little totes are a great way to use up all that old fence I see people put the curb. I never have the truck when I see it.

      The hydrangeas---beautiful.

      Love the rustic look, it's so rewarding using up old stuff instead of chucking it. x
