Colander Lampshade

Next, drill a hole in the bottom, insert a socket with a lamp and secure it. This lampshade looks perfect in the kitchen or in the dining room above the dining table.

Vases
Wide flat plates can be glued to massive glasses or vase legs. Cover the resulting products with paint to get beautiful practical vases. They can be used as a dish for presenting sweets, fruits or vegetable slices.

A glued or chipped cup can easily be turned into a candlestick. To do this, you need to place a wick in the middle, fill the cup with melted wax.At minimal cost you will get an original designer item for a romantic dinner.
Flower pots
Small cozy flower pots will be made from old corks and magnets. Drill small holes inside the plugs and glue the blanks onto magnets for easy fastening. Pour some soil inside and plant succulent plants (aloe, cactus) that can retain moisture for a long time. Attach “pots” made of corks to the wall, water with a teaspoon.
Utensil holders
Hot glue the sugar bowl lids onto an old cutting board (clean or varnished). Kitchen scissors, knives, spatulas, towels and other small and useful items can be inserted into the holes of the handles for storage.

Lamps on the wall
To decorate your kitchen in an interesting way, you can use broken cups. It is necessary to separate the flat part of the cup, coat the cut with glue and press it against the wall. The installation should be completed with half a saucer and a spoon on it. Place a glowing diode into a cup.
Hooks
In the kitchen, hooks made from forks with curved tines or handles look original. To do this, use pliers or a hammer to bend 2 prongs of the fork upward. Next, glue the blanks to a board or kitchen apron. As an alternative, drill a hole in the handle and screw it in with a self-tapping screw.
Curtain holder
Remove the bottom from the cup and thread the curtain through the cup.After this, hang the dishes by the handle on the hook. It turns out that the curtain flows from the cup. It is important that the curtain is not too thick, as it will not fit through the empty bottom.
Wall panel
The proven idea of attaching plates that match the color and size to the wall has long been known. If necessary, the dishes can be covered with different patterns or decorated with one color. A composition in which plates are arranged with saucers and cups looks beautiful. You can optionally decorate one active wall with this decor.
With a creative approach, old things turn into beautiful, unusual and practical decorative elements. Glassware can be used to make candlesticks, plates can be easily arranged into panels, and cups and teapots can be used to make unusual lamps, floor lamps and other things.
