Design Steem Exclusive Things from Waste Materials - (WEEK 1)

Hello Steemians!

I'd love to show you one metamorphosis I've made after moving to the old-new apartment.

When I moved in, I found in the apartment old furniture which couldn't be used any more. Some parts were rotten, some broken... It was taking a lot of space and it was overwhelmingly ugly.
I asked the owner of the apartment what should I do and she replied that I can sell it or throw it away.

I was trying to sell it or donate for first few weeks but nobody wanted it. Then I realized some desks could be still used. I decided to make plant pots of that.

First I separated all not broken and not rotten desks. It required some work. I started to remove parts of the furniture from the top to avoid the situation when everything collapses.
A lot of banging with the hammer in my hand. Probably neighbours hated me that days 😅

Then I measured and cut the desks to make it the same size. It took me a lot of time because I was making everything manually, but I was not in hurry. Sometimes I cut one desk per day, other time two or three.
I used nails to put all the pieces together.

In the end, I managed to make four plant pots of different sizes (as you can see, I've made the floor since then as well :P ) All of them are in my windows now. I moved three to make the photos. Fourth, the biggest, is too heavy when soil is inside, so I left it where it was and made a picture.

Basically I didn't spend any money on plant pots. All what I invested was my time and energy.

I hope you liked that metamorphosis.
Thank you for your attention!

Hi, what a creative idea. I liked these elegant plant pots. If you write "Steem Schools" on paper and put it near your plant potes, this edit will make me happy. Thank you for your participation 😊

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

I added photo with the piece of paper. Sorry, it might not look very elegant but I didn't want to use new paper just for that :)

Have a wonderful day!

Good decision :) thanks for editing. Have a nice day.
