Here’s a fun and creative way to reuse old dishes instead of tossing them—an idea that’s practical and original:
1. Turn Plates into Wall Art
- What to do: Arrange mismatched plates on a wall in a pattern or random cluster. You can mix sizes, colors, and patterns.
- Tip: Use plate hangers or strong adhesive wall hooks.
2. Make a Bird Feeder
- What to do: Take a small plate or shallow bowl, place it on top of an inverted cup or stand, and fill it with birdseed.
- Tip: Secure the plate with waterproof glue or silicone for outdoor use.
3. Create a Jewelry Organizer
- What to do: Stack plates of different sizes to hold rings, earrings, or bracelets. You can use a small rod or glue between plates to make a mini tower.
- Tip: Paint or decorate the plates for a personalized touch.
4. DIY Plant Saucer or Mini Planter
- What to do: Use shallow plates as plant saucers for pots, or even plant succulents directly on the plate with some soil and pebbles.
- Tip: Drill small drainage holes if planting directly into the plate.
5. Upcycle Into a Chalkboard or Message Plate
- What to do: Paint the center of a plate with chalkboard paint, and use it to leave notes, reminders, or doodles.
- Tip: Mount it on the wall or prop it on a stand in the kitchen.
💡 Extra fun twist: You can combine a few of these ideas—like turning a plate into a chalkboard and using it as a base for a plant mini-garden.
