What can I do with an old pair of wellies

meames_2

My wellies cracked across the top of the foot so they aren't wearable. What can I do with them rather than throw them away?

Plant things in them.

Give them to someone with ferrets who will use them as a play space and hidey-hole.

Perhaps you could cut them up and make something with the rubber - are they plain or decorative?

Hi meames,

They make quirky plant pots for the garden, just make sure there are a couple of holes to allow drainage.

I would also say use them as plant pots. Maybe put a stone or brick in the foot to weigh it down, then plant with pansies, primroses, minature daffs, snowdrops, crocuses...whatever you like really!:)

I watched a tv programme once and someone grew a tomato plant in them - brilliant.:)

I was going to say plant pots too! How about a quirky umbrella stand?

They'd be nice and long for growing short carrots in!!

You can cut off the tops with a craft knife and make a kind of clog shape. Keep them by the back door to slip into when going out in a wet, muddy garden
