The old gutters

With a sugar box or a small braided box, it is simple to do the same thing and create a beautiful decoration for your plants. Whatever the material, any box can become a very deco container to make yourself a beautiful composition. The advantage is that you can search for old sugar boxes or choose new ones and get an original container for three times nothing.
Old tea services
Among your trousseau or that of your grandmother is a magnificent tea set with deep cups and a delicate teapot. If the idea of separating you is totally unbearable, use them to house small succulents or flowers that bloom in small tufts, such as violets, kalanchoe or any flower that will inspire you. You will be able to arrange them on your table or a piece of furniture.
Watering cans, bowls and other metal buckets
We all saw this when we were on vacation with our grandparents in the countryside: old metal buckets or grandpa's watering can. Rather than throw them and transform them to make a deco trend for your flower beds? What you would have wanted to throw a few years ago, will become a trendy and vintage deco. In the same way, you can divert an old kettle, whose tank will turn into a wonderful pot. Do not try to give them their brilliance, it is this weathered side that gives them all their charm. Start to hunt in the attic-empty, you will find clever objects for your pots deco.
Rubber boots
The rubber boot is by definition the accessory of the garden. And if it became the decoration of the garden? A stroke of paint, some funny patterns and hung on a wall or along a barrier, the rubber boots become wonderful vases. To book flowers long stems of course. Note that it is possible to do the same thing with plastic garden shoes. If you opt for hooves, note that the wooden clogs are still much more elegant, especially if you live in the mountains or in the countryside. This natural side makes a decor with even more character.
Jam jars
You need very little to get all the old jars of jam from your mother to the dump. Have you thought of turning them into decorative objects and more specifically to transform them into decorative pots for your plants and flowers? For some time the decorating trend is to make terrariums of all kinds and plant walls. Large pots of 5 lt of sterilization in which the beans were put, will become a wonderful bell to grow plants and build small indoor gardens by adding foam, soil, and a ficus type plant. As far as jam jars are concerned, simply fill them with soil, put your plants in them and then fix them to a coat hook with strong ties. You can also suspend them like a mobile to make an original decoration in a kitchen.
Bottles of plastic bottles
Bottles of bottles that turn into an elegant decor.
Plastic pollutes! So do not throw away your empty bottles and turn them into beautiful vases for your creeping plants. Cut out the bottom of a plastic bottle and transform it with a little imagination into a very nice vase.
However, prefer hard plastic bottles that will have better hold. Create a nice shape, use a little paint and this is a beautiful decor workshop, why not with children. Thanks to the lightness of the plastic bottles, you can also make small holes to be able to hang your pots under a shelf or on the side a piece of furniture.
