6 Fun Things to Make out of an Old Tree Stump

You constantly worry about your house if you’re a homeowner. Cutting down falling trees is important to do so that your house doesn’t get damaged if the tree were to fall over. Then a new problem arrives. What do you do with the old tree stump? You can remove it, but that can take a lot of time and effort. The roots could be underneath a structure so removing it could be difficult. You can also make something fun out of it! There are so many fun things you can make out of old tree stumps. Make something awesome that your kids will love using. Here are 6 things you can try. 

Design a Fairy Garden

Fairy gardens are a great thing to make if your kids have a good imagination. Fairy gardens are a little area that you decorate to make it look like fairies live there. You can put tiny furniture around the tree stump and put a door on it to make it look like a house. Create a walkway up to the house and a picket fence around the stump. Let your kids design the fairy garden and help you put it together. 

Make a Tree Stump Planter

Hollow out the middle of the tree stump and plant your favorite flowers inside it. You can have your kids pick their favorite flowers to plant too. Do this as an activity together and you’ll have fun doing a project together. The tree stump will look beautiful all decorated with everyone’s favorite flowers.

Use as a Pot Holder

If hollowing out the middle of the tree stump is too difficult or you don’t have the right tools, you can simply put your flowers on top of the tree stump. You can use large plants that hang over the sides of the pot, this will create the illusion that the pot isn’t there. This is a simpler way to get the same look as the tree stump planter.

Create a Mossy Stump

You can start growing moss on your tree stump to decorate your yard. The moss will be green and make a fresh look for your yard. People can sit on the stump, for a soft place to sit. This works especially well if you live in a humid and wet place.

Make a Game Board for Your Kids

Make sure that the tree stump is perfectly flat on top and it’ll make a great game board for your kids! You can paint the top of the tree stump so that it’s a checker or a chess board. Or you can make a tic-tac-toe board just by painting lines on top of the tree stump. You can use smaller tree stumps for little chairs for people to sit on while they play a game.

Make Unique Garden Furniture

Turn your tree stumps into memorable chairs or tables. You can carve your tree stumps so that they have a back to them for a comfortable chair, or create legs for a great table. These pieces of furniture will be unique and no one else will have anything like it. How fun would it be to have furniture made from your own tree?

Summing Up

These fun ideas can make an ugly old tree stump into something beautiful and fun for your kids. If you’re sick of looking at a boring tree stump in the middle of your yard all day, try one of these fun ideas to create something different. There are also a lot more than these 6 ideas you can try. You'll be pleasantly surprised at the difference a beautiful tree stump can make in your yard.
