Fabric: Swingin’ ez in a hammock

Posted by Elijah Ligertwood under Home Improvement Posts

Is there anything more relaxing than swinging away in a hammock?  The way it cradles your body, the back and forth movement that lulls you to sleep amidst the sounds and smells of summer….aaaaahhhhh!

Can you smell the ocean and hear the birds? I can..

 

How about this hammock tied to the trees?  This is probably how most of us enjoy relaxing in a hammock.

Hammocks are not just for the outdoors.  Replace your teen’s bed with a swinging hammock and they will think you are the coolest mom ever!  And it will end the nagging “make your bed” comments every morning.

It’s not difficult to make your own fabric hammock by following these simple instructions.  In fact, probably the hardest thing about it is deciding which fabric to use.  You may want to choose something that coordinates with the rest of your outdoor furnishings or just something summery and fun.  Be sure to choose a sturdy fabric such as canvas or indoor/outdoor acrylics.  Tie it to a post or beam or, best of all, between two trees.  Happy Swinging!
