Look At The Playgym I Made :)

Featured Replies

Posted

Ive been looking around for a decent sized playgym and couldn't find one so I decided that I would try making one myself. After looking at tons of pics and hunting high and low for lots of "cool" things to hang off it (op shops are the best place :) ) I found some old beaded necklaces, a baby's hanging plaything, some wooden beads and some hard plastic bangles, I must admit the wood cost me a fair bit and I probably could have bought a playgym from the pet shop for less but it wouldn't have been as cool as the one I have ended up with. So here is the project, Hope you all like it :) If you have any suggestions what to add or remove let me know, I have a piece of polly pipe that I haven't yet attached which will hold some small branches as well. Stumpy isn't quite sure of it yet but I'm sure she will soon love playing on it. Oh I also made a gumnut swing for the avairy :D

Cheers

Very, very cool :) I like the beads that slide sideways on the ladder too. :)

AWWW!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!!!! :ausb:

It probably cost me just under $100Au but I have enough wood to make another 1 the same size and maybe 1 a little smaller. It was fun making it. :)
