Planters
With the fruit boxes, it is possible to create beautiful planters for your garden: you just need to stack two or three boxes, after having colored them with your favorite color or even leaving them natural, if you prefer. Inside the newly obtained planters, you can put your compositions, so as to create a very cheerful and welcoming piece of furniture. Place these planters in different places in the garden, in order to have an even more beautiful and original effect. At this point, you just have to enjoy the admiring glances of your guests.
Furniture
Did you know that with fruit boxes you can make beautiful cabinets that in addition to tastefully furnishing can also be very useful? An inverted box can become a table where you can place a tray for drinks. Other boxes, perhaps colored in the same color as the coffee table, can become a very shabby decor idea as it is in fashion now.

I assure you that this furniture made from boxes make even the barest garden cheerful. Put your creativity into play by experimenting with different solutions. A nice idea can also be to obtain different tables to be placed side by side, alternating the colors two by two.
Centerpiece
Do you want to give your garden a vaguely country and Provencal tone? What do you think of a nice centerpiece? Proceed as follows: take an empty fruit box, place glass jars filled with water inside it and place pebbles or other objects of your choice on the bottom, such as shells, beads, etc. If you want to create a romantic centerpiece, place the small candles with their support inside the box and light them during your evenings or your special dinners.
If you love the natural color of wood, do not paint the boxes but protect them with a layer of transparent enamel to protect them from night humidity
