When was the last time you cleaned out your garage? You've probably come across an item that you thought was really too good to throw away. If you haven't had the idea of what to make from the found object, you'll find lots of great suggestions for rebuilding on this page.

Enamel pots are great as flower pots

kitchen utensils

enamel pots

A chipped enamel pot has had its day in the kitchen. In the garden, however, it is wonderfully suitable as a watering vessel. The tide turns and the plastic watering can goes in the garbage instead.

Pans

In this case, it is not the vegetables that end up in the pan, but the pan in the vegetable patch. Simply nail old frying pans of different sizes to the garden fence.

cutlery

Rustic door handles are made from old spoons and forks, which you bend into shape with pliers.

old tool

saw blade

Maybe you still have an old saw bench that you haven't put into operation for years. Remove the old, possibly already rusting saw blade and nail it to a wooden pole instead. Visually, this is reminiscent of a sun.

screws and nails

How about a non-work pet:

  1. Use an old spiral for the body.
  2. Make the head out of metal balls.
  3. Nuts and bolts give your animal eyes, a nose and a mouth.
  4. Bend ears out of old tin
  5. Now add metal rod legs and a tail if you like.

Others

Your water butt has a crack and is therefore unusable? This is how it becomes useful again:

  1. Color the rain barrel in bright colors.
  2. Draw her a face.
  3. Plant the water butt with upright plants (e.g. heather) so that the plant looks like a hairstyle.

dressers

What is hiding in the drawer? We know it and we're happy to tell you: Give an old chest of drawers a weatherproof varnish and plant plants in the half-open drawers. Overhanging growth is also suitable for this.

bathtub

A bathtub does not belong in the bulky waste, but in the middle of your garden. Colorful flowers make the sanitary flower box look like new.

rubber boots

Discarded rubber boots can also be planted. In the entrance area, the garden decoration looks particularly appropriate.
