Wood you believe you could... with Rachal Bradley
Here are some ideas of things you can make and do with everyday wooden objects you find around the house. We are adding new projects all the time, so come back and take a look.
Do you have a great idea for revamping or reusing wooden objects you find around the home and garden, turning them into something useful, beautiful or fun?
Then send in your ideas and a picture to rachel.bradley@b-and-q.co.uk and every one we feature on the site will receive a £10 voucher to spend at B&Q.
Have fun!
Rachel
