If you have an old ladder, do not throw it out! Simply grind the wood, coat it with varnish or paint it and use it as a shelf. Different tea cups can be transformed into lovely pendant lighting fixtures. Old car tires are easily turned into planter boxes, and old jeans will be an original decoration for the balcony as well as balcony planters. Paint cans can be also used for the garden. Just add soil and flower or herb seeds. There are many DIY upcycling ideas which will show you how to make cool wall hooks from just about anything.

Do you need a coffee table? No problem – check these DIY upcycling ideas, take a look around and look for old leather suitcases that you could use. Of course, they have to be thoroughly cleaned before you place them in your living room. Then you can either pile several suitcases one upon another, or build a small structure made of wood and it put the suitcase. Voila – your new coffee table is ready.

The second idea is even easier – you cut an old wine barrel in two, cover the barrel with a glass or wooden top and you have a nice coffee table for the living room, the balcony or the garden.
