Drawers

A fantastic idea for both the interior and exterior of your home is to turn various old crates into flower pots. Update their color, add beautiful handles, or restore existing ones and plant colorful plants in them. Drill holes in the bottom of the box – they are necessary to drain excess irrigation water. You can place them on the wall in a row or on the floor above each other in a composition.

Kitchenware

You can turn your old kitchen utensils into a creative flower pot. For example, old colanders can be converted into special hanging planters. So think twice before throwing away or giving away your old dishes.

Bird cages

Old cages can also be turned into beautiful pots. By filling the cage with greenery and plants that will protrude beyond the cage, you will get a wonderful decoration for the garden. Tip: Paint the old cage white to contrast with the greenery of the plants and look impressive.

Car tires

If you have old car tires and don’t know how to use them, turn them into garden pots. These are beautiful ideas that can make your garden even more cozy and special to spend time in.

Bike

Decorating the garden with old bicycles is also a great idea. Use the front basket for a potty or equip another bike structure under it – a handlebar or a rack. If you have special tools, you can cut the bike in half and hang it on the wall. Visually, it will look like it is moving out of the wall.

Shoes

It’s a cute idea to plant flowers or plants in old shoes you don’t wear, but it’s a shame to throw them away. Convert rubber boots, boots, shoes and other suitable shoes into a flower pot.

Ceiling chandelier

An old ceiling chandelier can be turned into an impressive flower pot. In place of the lamps, put small pots and paint the entire structure in one color for uniformity.

Candlestick
