Give old garden accessories and tools a new role as decoration in the garden – here are 16 original ideas for inspiration.
Old garden accessories and tools with a new function
Upcycling – giving old objects new uses – is right on trend, and for good reason. Turning old things into something useful saves resources, time and money. Whether indoors or in the garden, creativity has almost no limits. In the United States, upcycling is often treated as an art form because it lets everyone express personality through objects. These pieces should catch the eye and quickly create a warm atmosphere. So if you have garden tools and accessories lying around, do not throw them away.
Upcycling ideas for garden accessories and tools
Paint old shovels, rakes and other tools in fresh colors and use them to decorate a fence or garden gate. An old hose can become a beautiful door wreath: simply tie fresh flowers and ribbons to the hose and you are done. A wheelbarrow can display plants, while an old watering can can be used as a planter and placed near the entrance. Let your imagination run free – you will definitely find other uses for old garden tools and accessories!
