On the balcony, on the porch, in the garden: a hanging decoration that moves gently in the breeze is always a nice and dea to embellish our outdoor spaces.

These can be flower boxes - perhaps even with very unique shapes or made from recycled objects. And they can be lanterns or other reclaimed, old items, creatively brought back to life. Take a look at some ideas of these below to find a creative idea you can use:

Any glass bottle, regardless of shape, size and color, can become a simple flower pot/vase to hang up using string. They are beautiful when filled with wildflowers.

In glass jars, you can place candles, flowers, electric lights ... and you can use colored pebbles - or better still, pieces of glass ground down by the sea: they will be fantastic sunlight catchers.

Among the decorations that work best in the wind are dream catchers, with their tails fluttering with every gust of air. You can create them from strips of fabric or ribbons.

For hanging lanterns, you can easily use cans, perforated with your favorite design. Just insert battery-powered lights, strings of fairy lights or candles, and it's done.

We often talk about recycling glass jars, but even the lids can be useful materials for creative jobs ... even for hanging decorations.

Tin cans are also excellent as hanging plant containers, perhaps best filled with succulents!

An old chandelier, where instead of light bulbs, there are tea cups and saucers: wouldn't it be fantastic to find this in the garden?
