I got this old Samsonite for $1 at a garage sale. My husband added some swivel wheels and ta-daaaa! It’s an ottoman on our patio. Great for drinks, feet or even as seating.

Yellow Birdfeeder
I’m not positive I’ll be able to keep hanging it this way as it is tilting a little. I may have to get more chain and create a “basket” for it to sit in (2 longer pieces of chain that will make an X underneath and come up to the top and gather in a carabiner). But it’s pretty cute.
Pie plate upcycle
What can you do with a couple of pie plates, a cake pan and 2 candle holders? THIS!
Just use a strong epoxy to hold it all together. Use it to serve snacks or cupcakes, or use it simply as a catchall for little items.
Colander Planter #2
I couldn’t resist! I found this cute white colander at a thrift store for $1.25. And I had chain left so….
Colander Planter
I found this cute silver colander at a thrift store for 70 cents. Today I finally turned it into an adorable planter.
I got this chain at a home improvement store and just cut the link with bolt cutters. That hook goes into the holes on the colander.
Got this carabiner at the home improvement store too. It works great to hold all 3 chains and connects to the hook to hang.
And there you have it! I got this sad clearance plant for $3. It just needs a little love…ok…water.
If I decide to make it shorter I can just place a different link into the carabiner. No problem.
Colander Lamp
Cute little pendant light I made.
Earring Holder
I made this earring holder with a frame from the thrift store and some wire from Lowe’s.
