Succulents are always my go too plants because they need so little attention.

Make yard art out of them like frogs, butterflies, minions, and lady bugs.

Decorate them and use to hold napkins, utensils, and other picnic/outdoor eating items.

Make a bird feeder.

If small, use in the bathroom for cotton balls, soap, qtips, tooth brush, & toothpaste.

Make a lighthouse.

Turn into a bird bath.

Hide your plunger and bowl brush in them.

Make a rock garden.

Clean up and use to serve fun deserts like "mud pie" cake.

15 Creative Ways to Use Flower Pots (Besides Gardening)

Jan 31, 2017 - We've found 15 fabulous ways to use flower pots that have nothing to ... you'll find a great tip or two here to turn that empty pot into something ...

I put hostas in mine. They look great and come back every year. Of course, it depends on your location and climate, but my perennials come back each year, even in pots. And I am not a great gardener!

So many good ideas here! I love #9 - a clay pot smoker!

Depending on the pot size, clean them up and use them for organizing areas of your home. For instance, you could roll up your extra towels and washcloths and place them upright in a medium pot. Smaller ones you could use for office organizing such as ballpoint pens, markers, pencils, notepads, etc. Maybe on the kitchen counter with utencils. In a kid's room for contaiing toys in an organized way. They can be painted so they look different and intnentional in your decor.

Oh gosh Lori: There are a ton of things to do! Check out this site: https://www.dollartree.com/adorable-diy-potted-plant-people/idea-20210522. You can use fake flowers and can paint them to fit the season :) For Christmas, a Santa with a little Christmas tree hat :)
