Make: Swing

by Designing Mom Ryan of Tin Parade

When I was a kid so many people had a nice wooden swing in their yards. Maybe it’s because I live in Los Angeles, but I don’t see those anymore. I love the way they make you feel like life is so simple. My Tin Parade partner Kristen made this swing with the help of a skilled friend. Our kids loved it.

They cut the wood and drilled holes (and sanded and stained it). Then a nice rope was tied though one side’s hole and the rope thrown over the tree and then tied in the other side’s drilled hole. Voila!
