Cool ideas to repurpose tree stumps!

It’s unavoidable! A tree has to be removed and what’s left behind can be unattractive. But tree stumps don’t have to leave a bad mark in your yard. With a little ingenuity, repurpose tree stumps can become a functional or artistic focal point of any space or room.

Tree Stump Ideas

• Use a tree stump to craft a side table
• A small table made out of a tree stump is ideal for your patio. You can put the small table in your living room or bedroom as well.
• Use wood slices to form a “tiled” path in your garden or yard.
• A slightly hollowed out tree stump makes an unusual planter. Put some of your fav flowers inside the planter!
• Little ones? Use stumps to construct small chairs or stools
• Craft an outdoor sitting area with chairs built from old wood
• Drill holes in thick tree limbs to make candle or tea light holders
• Organize your garden with eco-green seed stakes constructed out of recycled branches.

A tree stump is an incredible material to work with. It doesn’t need a lot of change to get a polished look. A stump can be converted to a nightstand or coffee table. You might have to sand it and spray paint on it to give it some color, but that’s it. Choose your DIY and get going!
