By using your old
colander, you can make a new lampshade on your own. Just pierce it with a
drilling machine, put an electric lamp and hang it on the ceiling. Your new
lampshade looks nice, practical and ready to be used.
You just
need a thick rope and a pair of scissors. Knot the rope as shown on the picture
and then hang it on the wall together with the planter. This idea is really
simple but practical and useful.
It’s a
really interesting way to make candle holders. Just pick some dry twigs and put
them round a glass. You can bind them with a cord, for example. The result is a
new small simple piece of decoration suitable for your living-room.
You see
that we can make use even from old lamps. You just have to remove the film from
the bulb and fill it with water. Then put flowers in it. You may find
resemblance between a real vase and our beautiful hand-made one.
Planters in
shapes of letters are very interesting. You cane make such ones, too. Just
choose a letter and shape it from cardboard or plastic. Then fill it with soil
and plant flowers. When they grow, they will be really attractive and amazing.
If you have
an old big spool you can make use of it. Take one of the sides as a top and
decorate it as you like. The other side is the bottom which could be laid over
wheels in order to be movable. Then you have a practical small table suitable
for a book shelf, for example.
