Second life of everyday things. Or how to turn a useless thing into a decorative element

How long have you been doing a global “inventory” of things in your home? Recently! Super. And how many items have you returned back to their original place, with the thought: maybe it will come in handy! And, as always, the hour has come, or rather the year of waiting, for that very "maybe"!

Good afternoon dear friends!

Enough already!? It is easy to store and collect things or move from one place to another objects that have been hopelessly waiting for their practical implementation for a long time. And come up with a creative approach to solving this "problem"! Namely try make objects out of them that will not only be applicable in your interior as a decorbut are beneficial, for example, in freeing up shelf space. Therefore, today I have prepared 5 interesting solutions that will help you in this exciting and rather useful event.

Especially processing and transformation both large and small things (interior items), very popular at the moment! So do not lag behind fashion trends, and be at the peak of modern trends!

1.Clothes hangers. Instead of just throwing out the hangers (which you often receive along with newly purchased items) or it makes no sense to keep them in the closet, let's turn the hangers into a stylish and practical element interior! For example, we will hang wooden ones on the wall (but change their position to the opposite), and make a creative storage system for keys, scarves or handbags out of hangers.

Or we can make a very unusual and fashionable lamp for the kitchen out of them - by collecting metal hangers in a chaotic composition and connecting them with metal brackets. And later painting this creation of modern art!

2.Glass bottles. As strange as it sounds (for some), a bottle fixed to a wooden base can become a very original wall vase for fresh flowers or trendy dried flowers. And if, in addition, it is not one, but presented in small quantities (literally several pieces), then a previously empty wall will turn into a real highlight in your interior or just into a cozy home greenhouse!

You can also try transforming glass bottles into unusual dishes for serving food on the table! The only thing in this case you will have to contact the master, who will cut the bottles lengthwise and "secure" their edges.

3.Tin cans. If you have ordinary cans of peas (condensed milk) on your farm, then it's time to put them into operation! The only thing, because of their slightly rough and unkempt appearance, will have to transform the jars. Paint, use jute rope or twine, stickers, self-adhesive tape, etc. For example, in a solution with a stand for cutlery, it will be enough just to paint the jars in a color that would best harmonize with the interior of your kitchen.

If you use the jar as a pot (for example, for succulents), then it would be more interesting to carefully wrap it with jute twine and grab it with glue!

4.Bottle caps. Do you collect bottle caps? Well no? If yes, then I will show you how you can make an unusual decor (frame) for a mirror from them. I'll also throw in an idea of how to make a stylish container for a houseplant.

Or even a cool candlestick for your bathroom! It would seem such a miniature item, but with such amazing potential! Is not it?

5."Yellow" - second-rate books. Books have surrounded us since childhood! Kindergarten, school, university, work…. And there comes a moment when they just take up space in the closet or even gather dust in the closet! So maybe it's time to put them on display and make them a real decorative element in your interior? For example, a folded pile of books will become an original bedside table. The only thing is to glue them together and cover them with paint, "consonant" with the color of the interior or transparent varnish, to preserve the natural look.

And "yellow" books with a large number of sheets and a dense cover are perfect for growing indoor plants in them. To do this, you just need to cut out the middle, put a film in the resulting hole, add some soil, and then just plant the plant.
