You don't need Instagram, it's here on YouTube. So grab a cup of tea and let's get straight to the video. Recycle old containers and turn them into flower pots. My mom made this for one she didn't use anymore and it looks pretty epic. Recycle an old bin and turn it into a compost bin if it has a lid. Just be sure to drill a few holes in the bottom of the container to allow for drainage or drill a larger hole in the side and install a small spigot. The runoff from compost bins is actually a great fertilizer, so put it in a jar and when you use it make sure to dilute it well before watering the plants with it.

Use an old piece of wood that you no longer use to make a bee hotel. All you need to do is drill holes of different sizes in the board and install it in your garden. This is great for solitary bees who need a place to

have

their young ones and don't have a hive to go to. Reuse beauty or skincare bottles as vases to display flowers in your kitchen, on your windowsill, or on your desk. Recycle beauty bottles with pipettes to make an infused food oil to sprinkle on salads or on pants, I mean PANS for cooking.

repurpose
