Surely every housewife has flower pots that she does not use. Someone hides them in the closet, someone throws them away. But if you make a little effort, then you can build various crafts from them that will bring originality to the interior.
Storage area for wine
You can make a composition for storing wine bottles. A large pot is taken as a base. A smaller one of the same color is glued to it, then small ones are attached, creating a vertical composition. You can decorate them with artificial grapes and herbs. After that, you can place 1-2 bottles in them.
Such a storage system will be appropriate in a country house, suitable for a liquor store or a small family restaurant.
Outdoor grill
A ceramic flower pot can be used to make a small outdoor grill. Of course, it is unlikely that it will work to fry a barbecue on it, but you can bake marshmallows or sausages.
You need to take a strong, medium size. Place the foil inside. Then you need to pour coal and set fire. After the picnic, you can put in foil and discard, and our "grill" - left for next time or used for other needs.
Candlestick with fresh flowers
You can also make a stylish candlestick. To do this, you need to cover the pot with earth, place a glass or glass in the center so that it stands tightly. After that, plant flowers around him.
Then you need to place a small candle in the candlestick and light it. The composition will look prettier if it will be short plants with flowers. Lush greenery will hide the candle and will not be seen.
This candlestick is perfect for table setting. For example, during a family holiday or even a wedding. In addition, he will decorate the apartment as a decor item.
Smokehouse
Another unusual way is to create a smokehouse. To do this, you need to take a large clay pot. Put a small electric stove on the bottom, and bring the wire out through the hole.
Then a metal container with wood chips is placed on the plate. A grill is installed on top, on which the meat will lie. A pallet is suitable as a cover - you just need to screw on the handle.
The smokehouse itself should be installed on legs made of bricks or other improvised means to improve air circulation. Now you can cook smoked meat in your own yard or in the country.
Coffee table
Huge pots can be the basis for a coffee table. First you need to choose a worktop of the right color and size. Round are best here.
Then paint the pot from the outside in the desired color. After that, turn it upside down, and attach the tabletop from above. This table will look stylish in any interior.
Garden lamp
A number of garden decorations not only during the day, but also at night, glass or plastic pots with plants are best suited. The main thing is that they transmit light well.
Inside, at the bottom, you need to place the lamp and the cord from it. Put a flower on top on a special tray, while the earth should not fall on the light bulb. After that, you can place it along the pool or sidewalk and turn it on in the dark.
Decor for aquarium
Fish lovers know how expensive it is to design and maintain an aquarium. To save some money, you can use a small ceramic pot for decoration.The size should be chosen based on the size of the aquarium.
At the bottom you need to fill up sand or earth, plant the necessary plants, spread stones and shells. The pot is best placed in a corner on its side. You can leave it intact or come up with something more interesting.
For example, you might want to slightly break the pot and spread the shards around. So it will seem like he fell to the bottom of the ocean. Or - throw a few coins around, as if it was filled with them.
Typically, flower pots are used exclusively for planting flowers and plants. But if you fantasize a little, then you can make a lot of things useful for the house out of them.
