Bamboo DIY Climbing Frames




Posted by Picasa

We were looking for some interesting climbing frames for beans and wanted something natural and of course cheap, or practically free so made up these bamboo ones.  They were pretty easy to make really - just tied at the joints with - well, I have to admit a penny pinching idea here - cut up old T shirts !  These are best as they are stretchy and have more give and you can still get a firmer and tighter knot that will last and make them stronger.  We put the cute trims around as we were trimming back the honeysuckle and it also gave the plants something extra to hang on to.

Living miles away from fabric shops and not wanting to spend dollars to make fabric then recycling is a neat way to make your own.   do it yourself fabric is unique and a cool way to recycle a favourite item.  Believe it or not this weaving is done with torn strips of hubby's night shirt, frayed and ready to toss out when inspiration hit - guess he's still searching for it  ...  looks mighty like denim and gave a very strong and interesting texture fabric for a bag.
