OK so you broke something. Don't feel bad, it happens to us all sooner or later. But should that mean the object is now useless to you? The answer is a resounding no. There are many things you can do with broken items, with a little creativity they can still serve you in a number of ways. Here are a few great ideas for reusing broken items around the house and garden: |
Use pottery pieces to mark plants in the garden. |
... Or to create a specially designed little pot. |
Use broken plates to mark your garden limits. |
Or plate pieces to make the bottom of pots. |
Use wine glasses with broken stems as garden candlesticks. |
Create a chandelier from broken or damaged jewellery. |
Glue precious stones and pearls fallen from jewelry to hair pins. |

Make more colorful candlesticks from egg shells. Just paint them and pout hot wax into them. |
Use a broken globe as lamp shades. |
Or as a decorative bowl. |
Melt remnant of pastel or water colors and pour them into an empty glue or lipstick container, in order to reuse them later. |
Use old mattress springs as an old-style bulletin board. |
Glue CD pieces to a ball of Styrofoam to create a small mirror ball you can hang as decoration. |
