Any ideas for using an old tea kettle?

I would use it to pot a plant. I think that would be very cute. You could pick a plant that matches the color of the tea kettle. If you do this, you should drill several holes in the bottom. Or put some rocks in the bottom and cover them with a layer or two of newspaper. Then add your soil. This will help with drainage. Hope this helps.Helpful Reply -

Hang it in the garden at an angle as though you were pouring from it. Hang a string of beads in place of the water. Beautiful as they glimmer in the sunlight.Helpful Reply -
