I bought these octagonal trays from Shopgoodwill and I would like to know how you would transform them.

 

I have something in mind, but I'm curious to see what ideas you have for repurposing them (sort of like last year's lamp project, for those who remember the before and after pictures).

@lolakimono - Do they come apart? If not, maybe your guy can find out how to install a small motor and make a water feature? 

 

Or a small garden with succulents?

 

I have no idea, lol

@lolakimono Last couple weeks or so I saw a fountain made of something similar - don't know if something like that would be doable but boy was I impressed.  Good luck w/whatever you decide.

Re: Project: What Would You Do?

how about connecting them in like a spiral pattern, and turn into a wall hanging?  or (cause they look like something i would have bought lol) just use around the house to display shells/rocks, couple of small plants, base for a  unique figurine, or clay sculpure, wrapped soaps in the bathroom, tray for jewelry when you take it off, before it goes into bedroom. ( i do this)

Re: Project: What Would You Do?

I thought this was going to be an easy q about what hobbies we were doing to pass the time away. Smiley Very Happy I was going to tell about my latest acquisitions like my paint-by-number kits, my printed cross-stitch kits, etc. Nothing hard like this!!!

 

BTW, I just was sick looking at those kits and ordered some gorgeous artwork from Art dot com.

 

Good luck w/your project!

This is a blast from the past, I used to have this exact set!  I used them to put under plants.

Not a clue, at the moment, but what a cool find.  Really pretty nesting bowls.

No creativity so I can't help. I'd love to see it reworked by Pinterest people.
