1) If you HAD an old kitchen stool, but the seat is a write-off, pick up one of those old silver round tea trays at the thrift-store and gorilla glue it to the lags/base. Gorilla glue is a crafter`s dream! you can glue wood to glass with it.
4) Buy one of those hard-cover suitcases from the thrift-store, tape off the edges, spraybomb it a pretty color, screw some table legs to it and use it as a side table/nightstand that stores rarely used but non-tossable items.
5) Frame old calendar pages as art, or save for a decoupage project. My daughter has a mural of animals dressed in pretty scarves and hats with complimenting textures and colors behind them in her room, thanks to an old calendar.
6) turn old silverware into a windchime near your outdoor dinner spot (the picnic table by the tree, or by your patio set)
9)Tip wine glasses upside down with a pretty flower (probably a fake one) under the cup, and put a big pillar candle on the base- still would look nicer with mix`n`matched glasses.
10) glue clothespins to an old plank of wood, paint the whole lot, and use it to catch memos and kids`artwork...interchangable fun!
A couple of these ideas are not my original, but i wouldn`t remember where i heard them first if i tried!
