15 Double Duty Decorating Ideas

15 Double-Duty Decorating Ideas
Spruce up your décor with new uses for old things.

Note: The above site is a slow-load!

My Favorites:

Use Earrings as Pushpins
Face it: That long-lost earring is probably gallivanting with a wayward sock in Ye Olde Land of Misplaced Items. (What a stud!) Let its lonely, abandoned mate rebound as a pretty thumbtack on a bulletin board.

Cupcake Foils as Votives
The best part of using foils to hold tea lights: No cleaning up the dripped wax. Simply toss the cupcake foils when the wick is snuffed.

Cake Stand as a Platform for Candles
Use cake stands to display votive and pillar candles in assorted sizes. Place a doily under the candles to protect the plate from wax.

Salt and Pepper Shakers as Bud Vases
Screw off the caps of spare salt and pepper shakers (or empty jam jars or perfume bottles) and use the receptacles to display flowers on a bedroom night table or a guest-bathroom sink. You can also put potpourri inside.
