Yes, you read the title correctly!
Crazy, but I used old tomato cages to make some outdoor projects.
So simple!
If you do not have lots of money, like me, or do not want to spend too much money on your porch, patio, or yard area, these projects are for you!
After I cleaned the old cages, I spray painted all white.
This first one is amazing, just place the tomato cage in the ground and add a large plastic bowl to the top ring for a birdbath.
I used a beautiful floral bowl I purchased at Dollar General last year for $3.00.
It’s wonderful, isn’t it?
For the next two projects I used wire cutters to remove the straight wires, the wires that go into the ground and turned the cage upside down. The larger ring on the bottom.
On this one, I added a large wood piece, purchased at Home Depot, painted it, and attached to the wire base for a simple patio table.
It fits great between two chairs.
Not so overwhelming as other tables.
This last project, so simple, just place a plant in the top ring for a plant stand.
Planning to put one on my small front porch to hold a basket of colorful flowers.
I know there are different cages, some a heavier gauge than others, but for these projects I just used $1.97 cages I purchased at Walmart last year.
I also saw some cages that are already painted bright summer colors.
Have fun with these projects, get your outside areas ready for the summer ahead.
Till next time, blessings.
Love these. I may have to find me a pretty bowl and make one for my flower garden. You always amaze me with your creations!
Your yard is so beautiful, one with a lovely bowl would fit in!
You are always thinking of things to make. Very clever idea. I saw someone using old lamp shades but tomato cages look a whole lot easier.
Denise, this could not have been easier to make. I was amazed at how good they look.
