Recycling can be FUN!
But it's not all about what plastic goes to which container. A lot of things that lost their primary role, can be reused and they can be fantastic in their secondary way of life.
Some things look even better when painted over and given a second chance.
Let me show you what can we all do if we just give a little bit of our work and imagination into an old piece of wood, plastic or a car tire ...
I bet you all have some old tires just waiting to be reused!!!

Paint them in colors to match your home and plant in it your favorite flowers or trees.
What can you plant in old tires?
Old tires becomes a toy container!

Tires are insensitive to weather, so you can simply place them on your backyard. Place one on top of the other and you can get a nice 'box' for out-playing toys or tools. And there is no fear of breaking the tire container. You just have to love it !
Paint them over !
Old tires as a pedestal sink!
Your garage can look like this:

A lot of mechanical workshops could reuse old tires in that way. It is a really nice idea. No extra money needed, just some paint and your time.
Make your tiers look as new with:
Another idea for your garage!
This chair is insensitive to stains, shocks and so funny convenient.

Those were just some of the ideas, your creativity is the limit!

How can you use old boards?
Here is one great idea!

Put them together in a shape of a tree!
Select the desired height and nailed it to the wall. You can paint the boards or just leave them raw. Add some ornaments like birds or flowers or leaves. Use nails to hang on them your hats, bags and clothes.
And you will end up with one of a kind, unique hanger that all your visitors will be impressed by.
What do you need beside old boards?
But why not try another shape of tree?

You can put them also in some other shape of a tree, like a Christmas tree. Add some ornaments, some gifts under it and you are ready for Christmas.
You will save one tree from cutting it down and the recycled tree in your house will not took a lot of space, so it's a win win combination!
Small parts of wood can also be fun!

On your walk through the park you can find some nice small parts of wood. You can find them also by the river or even on your backyard.
Put them together as if you are building a town. Let the shape of a particular piece of wood guide you. Will this piece become a high tower, skyscraper or a sweet family house? Paint them, draw them windows and doors.
Use a smaller piece for an animal or plant...

... and add them to your wooden town!
One more tip how to reuse an old piece of wood!

Use them as Decorative Tealight Candle Holders!

- These recycling ideas are very creative. A bit of paint sure adds a lot of cheer to plain black tires. The wood crafts would be fun. :)
