Be amazed at what you find when you clear out the garage or attic. Sometimes old treasures come to light that can even still be used for something. Do not you believe? Then take a look at our ideas. Old things can be used to create wonderfully beautiful garden decorations. So let’s get to the avoidable bulky waste.
How can you create garden decorations from old things?
You can create garden decorations from old things, for example with metal buckets, wheelbarrows, door locks, watering cans, tableware sets, spoons and kitchen sieves. Imaginative ideas include flowers in fallen buckets, planted wheelbarrows or bird coffee parties in saucers and cups.
Old utensils
Bucket
Old metal buckets may no longer be suitable for transporting water. Especially if they are already rusting, you should no longer use them for this purpose. But this condition doesn't matter much to flowers.
- Dig a bucket horizontally halfway into the ground.
- Plant small, blooming flowers in front of it so that the carpet of flowers appears to be flowing out of the fallen bucket.
Wheelbarrow
Does your wheelbarrow have a flat tire or a crack in the storage recess? No problem. A wheelbarrow can also be beautifully planted with overhanging growth and will immediately shine in new splendor.
Walk in
Remove an old door lock and screw it to a garden fence. You can use old cutlery to suggest doorknobs or bells. Spoons and forks can be bent quite easily with pliers.
Watering cans
Do you find watering flowers manually so annoying that your watering cans are left in the corner? Above all, many small specimens made of colorful plastic give the garden a playful look when you hang them on the branches of a tree. Very simple and yet so impressive!
Coffee party for birds
Dish sets are one of the most common items found when cleaning out the attic. Pink floral patterns from grandma's time may seem tacky on the coffee table these days. Birds still like to take a seat. Especially if you attach the saucers to metal rods and spread sunflower seeds on them. Fill small cups and bowls with water.
insect flight
- You need four spoons.
- Separate the stems.
- Pick up a steep.
- Weld the four spoon surfaces onto the handle to create a dragonfly.
- The spoon surfaces form the wings, the handle forms the body.
Kitchen sieve as a flower pot
Hang an old kitchen colander from a branch using a cord, bead necklace, or some wire and place an overhanging plant inside. Particularly practical: there is no risk of waterlogging when watering because the excess water drips off.
