Create a beautiful garden by recycling common objects into amazing decorations
Have you tidied up your home and now have a load of boxes are filled with junk to throw away? But are you sure everything should be thrown away? Perhaps there are some things you could creatively repurpose to decorate the garden? Here's a few ideas you can consider:
1. Old license plates become planters
Recycling apparently "useless" objects and making something beautiful out of them is very satisfying. For example, how about bending old license plates to form cute flower pots/planters?
2. Decorate the fences
Pieces of sheet metal and old plaques can also be used to artistically decorate and beautify the fences or walls in your garden.
3. License plate birdhouse
There are many ways of making DIY birdhouses, and using a colorful, old license plate is just one of them!
4. Bird feeder
Staying on the topic of birds: in addition to providing them with shelter, why not help them feed them too (especially in the winter)? You can use old teacups and saucers to make very cute bird feeder.
5. Decorative orbs using bowling balls
Are you passionate about bowling and have some old, unusable ones laying around? Iinstead of throwing them away, you can recycle them: check out how nice they look in the role of decorative, colored orbs gracing this garden.
6. Fairytale house
Rubber boots (wellies, waders) are generally unrecoverable when they get ruined. They could, however, become a home for fairies - like the one shown here - and look super-cute "hidden" in your garden.
7. Vintage bicycle in the middle of the garden
Some bikes are so old and run down that repairing them is just not worth it... But they could make a great decoration in the garden (as shown here).
8. Plastic plate flowers
Some old plastic plates or bowls, a bit of paint and, in a jiffy, you have flowers to decorate your garden.
9. ... and includes glass or ceramic crockery
And you can do the same with glass or ceramic plates and bowls (along with glasses or cups), to create wonderful fence/wall decorations.
10. Adorable glass mushrooms
Glass bottles and glass bowls, placed to create mushroom shapes (as shown here): provide stability by filling their "stems" with pebbles.
11. A bottle tree
With old, colored glass bottles (or perhaps ones you've painted) you could create decorations for the trees in your garden! There are a thousand ideas you can consider and these will also work will on tree stumps or felled logs!
12. Old, colored tubes
Have you decided it's time to change your garden hose? Keep the old one - you can use it to make cute designs on an empty garden wall (as shown here).
