You'll also be amazed at what you find every time you clean out the garage or attic. Sometimes old treasures come to light that can still be used for something. Do not you believe? Then take a look at our ideas. Beautiful garden decorations can be conjured up from old things. So let's get to the avoidable bulky waste.
Old watering cans are great for planting
Old commodities
bucket
Old metal buckets may no longer be suitable for transporting water. Especially if these are already rusting, you should no longer use them for this purpose. This condition makes little difference to flowers.
- Dig a bucket halfway into the ground in a horizontal position.
- Plant small, blooming flowers in front of it so that the carpet of flowers appears to flow out of the fallen bucket.
wheelbarrow
Does your wheelbarrow have a flat tire or a crack in the storage trough? No problem. A wheelbarrow can also be beautifully planted with overhanging growth and immediately shines in new splendor.
Walk in
Remove an old door lock and screw it to a garden fence. You can use old cutlery to indicate doorknobs or doorbells. Spoons and forks can be bent quite easily with pliers.
watering cans
The manual watering of flowers is too annoying for you, so that your watering cans stay in the corner? Above all, many small specimens made of colorful plastic give the garden a playful look if you hang them on the branches of a tree. Very simple and yet so impressive!
Coffee party for birds
Crockery sets are among the most common items found when cleaning out the attic. Pink floral patterns from grandma's times may look kitschy on the coffee table these days. Birds still like to take a seat. Especially if you attach the saucers to metal sticks 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 to the handle to create a dragonfly.
- The spoon surfaces form the wings, the handle the body.
Kitchen sieve as a flower pot
Hang an old colander from a branch by a string, string of beads or some wire and place an overhanging plant in it. Particularly practical: there is no risk of waterlogging when watering, as the excess water drips off.
