Have you changed the tires on your car because they were worn out and you don’t know what to do with them? Or do you want to decorate your garden , but you’d rather not fill it with gnomes? You can combine the two by recycling household items and transforming them into decorations for your private green space. This way, your driveway will be the most original in the neighborhood, and you won’t have spent a thing on beautifying it.
- creative recycling of tires
Car tires are definitely the best thing to recycle. First, clean them thoroughly, then spray paint them however you like. After letting them dry, they’ll be ready for countless uses. You can stack them on top of each other and place a round pallet on top: there you have it, a new coffee table . If you have some trees, you can tie a tire around a branch with a rope and make a swing for your kids (or even for you, really). And if you have a tool shed, a wall, or an unsightly entryway you want to spruce up, hang them vertically and use them as flowerpot supports .
Creative recycling of cork stoppers
You didn’t even realize how many corks you throw away every year. A dinner with friends, a family lunch, or a romantic evening have led to empty wine bottles piling up in the glass bin and wasting the corks. Yet, they’re useful for more than just preserving wine. Use them as labels to indicate what you’re growing in pots or in your garden: write the name of the plant with a permanent marker, then fit the cork onto a skewer and plant it in the ground. But they can also become an original decoration for your gazebo . Line them up and tie them with string, then add a colorful fabric ribbon and you’re done. You can hang them wherever you like.
