Two Excellent Uses for Rain Gutters-Ribbon and Plants


If you liked the Rain Gutters for Bookshelves  (earlier post of ours) then you're really going to love this fun idea for the Rain Gutters. Store your ribbon in them!   The best news about this storage system is that you can make them as long horizontally or you can have several shelves vertically. You will never run out of storage for your ribbon again! Yea!!!  And if you really wanted to coordinate the rain gutters to your craft room you might take them out and spray paint them a lovely color! (They're going to look so great in your craft room)

All your ribbon all in one place! Very Cool!

Now you can go out and buy all the ribbon you want (?) But don't tell your husband I said that!

    If you plant wave petunias in a section of rain gutter, they will train down to create a "flower wall!"

    These two ideas are amazing. Here’s another tip: you can also recycle your old gutters and turn them into tool racks in your garage. That way, you’ll have a more organized way of keeping all your tools in place, making it easier for you to find them. I’ve done that, and it has actually made repairs much easier to do!

    Nice idea! Now I know what to do with my old rain gutters. We just started putting up a garden up on the rooftop, and I’m sure my old gutters will be a great addition to the garden. Thank you for this idea. =)
