My son and I found the perfect tree for a rope swing! I’ve been making these for years and donating them to school fairs, etc. Now we finally have one in our yard. Find the perfect tree, create a seat using ready made pieces, and you'll have a summer full of outdoor fun!

Add a hole (for the rope) to the center of a pre-made wooden table top. Nail support wood across the bottom to keep everything sturdy.
Paint the entire piece with paint primer. Sketch out the design (see blog for watermelon tutorial), paint it in, and add 2 coats of outdoor sealer.
Tie off your heavy duty rope to a healthy tree and enjoy!
