Leanna Reece on Aug 02, 2013Thank you for the suggestion, but I've already exhausted the ideas currently available online. We are going to be in a tiny apartment with no garden, and the crutches must maintain their integrity.Helpful Reply

Kimberly Barney on Aug 02, 2013As the crutches need to maintain their integrity and be able to be used when needed, you are limited to upcycling them. However, I was thinking that they could be used to as a shelf by placing brackets that they could rest on. The crutches themselves could hold books but you could also put a piece of glass over them for further storage ideas while leaving the appearance of the crutches without ruining the integrity.Helpful Reply

Z on Aug 03, 2013Why not just hang them against the wall behind or beside your clothes in your closet? Most anything you do to repurpose them would keep you from quick access when you need them for their intended purpose.Helpful Reply
