Coconut water is considered very healthy, so it is sold in stores at a high price. Often, people throw away the shell after consuming coconut water. After extracting the white flesh from dried coconut, the outer shell is sent to the trash. However, the coconut shell is not useless material. With a little creativity, it can be used to decorate the home in various ways.
Coconut shells can be reused in many ways at home, and by learning this, you will never throw them in the trash again. From the shells, you can give your home a new look for the festivals of Navratri and Diwali, as well as give a second life to unnecessary items. Let's look at several simple methods of decorating the home with coconut shells.
Creating miniature pots
Coconut shells can be used as pots for small plants. Currently, the cost of pots on the market is very high, and decorative small pots are expensive. In this case, you can reuse coconut shells. First, thoroughly clean and dry the shell. Then, make one or two small holes in the bottom so that excess water can drain out. After that, fill it with soil and plant a small or decorative plant. Such a pot can be placed on a window, balcony, or table.
Making beautiful hanging planters
If you have little space in your home, you can make a hanging planter from a coconut shell. To do this, you need to make small holes on both sides of the shell and tie a strong rope to them. Fill it with soil and plant small plants, then hang it on the balcony or near the window. If you connect two or three such shells together, it will look even more decorative.
Candle holders or candle holders
During Diwali, people light candles and lamps in their homes, and you can create holders for them. This will allow you to easily decorate the house by placing them on the table or floor. Since the coconut shell is small and has a bowl shape, it will look beautiful when holding decorative lamps or candles. Thoroughly clean and dry the shell, then paint it and create a design. Place a small candle or lamp in it and decorate the place of worship or balcony. When burning the candle, keep it in a safe place, away from flammable materials.
Creating small bowls
Small bowls are sometimes required to decorate the home during Navratri and Diwali, and coconut shells can be used for this purpose. After thoroughly cleaning the shell, you can paint it if you wish. After that, it can be used to hold artificial flowers, small stones, beads, or other light objects, placed on a central table or shelf to give the home a new look.
Making a stylish jewelry hanger
A wall hanger can be made from coconut shells. For this, take 4-5 shells and paint them with colored paints. Then, tie them in a row with string so they look like a real hanger. After that, hang it near the mirror in your room to store your daily jewelry and necessary items.
