Instant Upgrade: Tomato Cage Plant Stand
Useful in gardens, tomato cages are also ripe for repurposing as pretty plant stands. Cut off the spiky feet with a clipper, then spray-paint the cage gold. Set it on its wide end, and fit a pot inside.
Note: Pot your plants in vessels that allow for drainage, then slip those into pretty cachepots.
