When going through a closet or pantry, do not rush to throw away unnecessary things. Some of them may still be useful to you. Our consultant Sergey Pereverzev, head of the Useful Advice section on Channel One, tells how to breathe life into old things.

WALL CLOCK FROM DOMINO.
On a circle-base made of cardboard, we glue the dominoes with the corresponding time markings. We fix the clockwork and set the hands.
CLOTHESPINS – FLOWER PLANTS.
We process the edges at the can. We glue old wooden clothespins tightly to each other on the container. They can be colored, then the pots will look more elegant.
GLASS JAR – ORIGINAL VASE.
Glue the end of the twine to the bottom of the can and wind the thread around the container, adding a little glue at each turn.
OLD BASKET – COUNTRY STYLE DECORATION.
Cover the wicker bag with white acrylic paint. On the upper edge, using a heat gun, we fix a frill made of lace or linen, and on the sides – bows made of multi-colored braid.
SUPPORT FOR VINCK FROM UMBRELLA.
Cut off the fabric from the old broken umbrella. We fix the metal frame in the flower garden near the winding plant. It will braid the umbrella, which will become the decoration of the yard.
DECOR FROM GALOSH.
Fill rubber shoes with earth, plant any flowers in makeshift pots, and place along the paths. You can hang galoshes on garden arches. Ceramic figurines are a great addition to this decor.
WATERING CAN FOR SEEDLING FROM TIN CAN.
Press the sharp edges of the container with pliers. Using a hammer and a thin nail, punch holes in the bottom, and the watering can is ready.
FLOWER PLANTS FROM SUITCASE.
We put pots of flowers inside the plywood box or fill in soil and plant the plants. By this principle, you can use the old mailbox. To prevent the earth from spilling out, it is better to fix the bottom of the container with additional fasteners.
NEEDLE BOARD FROM A CHILDREN’S CAR.
We sew a bag according to the size of the car body, pull it over the toy and put thin foam rubber between the body and the fabric.
CUTLERY TOWEL HOOKS.
We fix a small block on the wall. We glue bent aluminum spoons and forks onto it with a “Moment”. It turns out an original hanger with a hook.
