Plastic plant pots often pile up after gardening projects, and most people either discard them or leave them gathering dust in the shed. Instead of throwing them away, you can repurpose these lightweight, durable containers in many clever and practical ways. Here are 10 brilliant hacks to give your old plastic plant pots a second life around the house.
1. Organize Cleaning Supplies
Small or medium plant pots make excellent caddies for sponges, brushes, and dishcloths. Place one under the sink to keep your cleaning items tidy and easy to grab.
2. DIY Storage Bins
Turn larger pots into storage containers for toys, laundry, or sports equipment. A quick coat of paint or fabric wrap can make them blend seamlessly into your home décor.
3. Craft Supply Holders
For families who love art, small pots are perfect for holding pencils, markers, paintbrushes, and other craft materials. Label each pot for quick access and organization.
