Do you want to know how to save money and reuse what you may think is ready for the dumpster? Then you are in the right place!
I happened to look around at my neighbors trash and see this great fiberglass urn. I called her and asked if she wouldn’t mind me grabbing it from her garbage. She said yes and was surprised! I told her I loved the urn and she offered to give me her other one that matched when she found a replacement.
She was shocked when she saw how I transformed them into a design piece in my home that can change with the seasons.
So what was I going to do with the urn? Oh let me count the ways!
Spring Easter Display with Moss & Paper Mache’ Eggs
Centerpiece on Patio Dining Table
Entrance Table with a Fresh Fruit (Faux Fruit) Display
So, don’t throw away your used outdoor urn! You can paint it a fun color to match your décor, paint it with a metallic finish to make a bold statement. I have put a small Christmas tree in it for a fun Christmas display. you could also put this on a kitchen table with a tree of fresh rosemary in it and give a great aromatic smell to your kitchen.
They key is to be creative and let pride go out the window when it comes to trash.
There is a reason for that very famous phrase….
“One person’s
Trash,
is another person’s
Treasure.”
Happy TREASURE Hunting!
